2022 AL Senate race: on Health Care

Jessica Taylor: Would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act

[On ObamaCare]: "We have the best health care in the world here in the United States in part due to our free market society," she said. There are a lot of things in those countries not ideal, and by and large America is still the greatest country in the world, and that is due to our free market capitalism."

Taylor said she would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and said she would pursue "mixed models" that she considers more effective and would also seek to promote options like telehealth.
