On Health Care: Alaska has most expensive health care in the world

[My opponent Dan Sullivan] voted against health care on numerous occasions, taking away pre-existing conditions coverage or taking away the ability for those under 26 to stay on their parents' plans. It became clear he didn't understand or care about the economic impact health care is having on our state. Alaska has the most expensive health care in the world and I really believe it's keeping new businesses from moving here because the overhead costs for businesses are just too high.

On Health Care: Public option allows Alaska to compete on equal basis

For a state like Alaska, let individuals and small businesses buy into Medicare as an option. If a business is trying to decide where to put their employees, and if health care costs are half as much in Idaho as they are in Alaska, they're going to put them in Idaho. But if it's a level playing field and you have the same overhead for employees, there's no reason not to put those employees in Alaska.

On Homeland Security: Sullivan cut Alaska bases to support border wall

Casting aside the convictions of his freshman year in D.C., Sullivan began voting in virtual lockstep with the President. His vote to deprive Alaska's military bases of $100 million in funding in order to support Trump's asinine Mexican border wall, was the most obvious proof, but certainly not the only evidence that Sullivan had gone over to the Dark Side.
