Lisa McClain in 2020 House elections
On Health Care:
End all Medicare fraud, no to Medicare for All
Q: Your Medicare policy?A: Our seniors depend on Medicare to get their health care. We must work to end all Medicare fraud within the system to ensure our seniors continue to get their care.
Seniors have paid into the system, and that is why I support working on making the system more efficient and not expanding it to a "Medicare for All" system.

On Gun Control:
I support the NRA positions on gun ownership
Q: What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I do not believe any additional restrictions are needed. As a NRA member I believe strongly in the Second Amendment as written and support the NRA positions on gun ownership.

On Budget & Economy:
Supports the line item veto
I believe that we should review all spending and start by ensuring the budget is balanced going forward, and debt repayment is included. Many items that are "luxuries" like funding pet or special interest projects must stop now.
We should also stop add-ons to bills that have nothing to do with the bill's purpose (example is if it is a COVID relief bill package there should not be funding included for Planned Parenthood). I also believe that the line item veto should be enacted.

On Health Care:
Prescription drugs: government needs to get out of the way
The price of prescription drugs is of critical importance to all Michiganders and Americans. We need to work with all sides to ensure we can lower the cost for all. The government needs to get out of the way and allow for research and development to
prosper. We need to bring back development of all prescription drugs to America and end our reliance on other countries, especially China. For something that is so critical to Americans, this is important to do.

On Jobs:
Reopen economy; increase the stock market
Q: Unemployment during the coronavirus crisis reached the highest levels since the Great Depression.A: COVID-19 has directly impacted all Americans with the economy, and that includes our seniors. I will work with our president to continue to reopen
the economy and increase the stock market. President Trump has overseen record stock market growth, which includes record 401(k)s. We must also ensure that Social Security is not used to solve other issues COVID-19 has caused.

On Social Security:
Give younger generation investment options
Q: How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?A: Unfortunately, I believe there is no guarantee on how this would be done. However, I think some ideas to make progress toward that goal include not taking money out of the
Social Security Trust Fund for any other purposes, and giving the younger generation flexibility within Social Security investment options like HSAs. [health savings accounts]

On Social Security:
Look at all options to ensure for younger generation
Social Security is of vital importance to many Americans. And let me say it again: Social Security is of vital importance to many Americans. We must ensure that we are not taking money out of the Social Security trust fund for other purposes.
People have paid into this for their entire lives, and they deserve to get their money back. We must look into all options to ensure Social Security remains available for the younger generation.
