2024 NM Senate race: on Health Care

Nella Domenici: Protect Medicare for retirees; no to Medicare for All

The Affordable Care Act has been the law of the land for 14 years, but Medicaid is a more important federal program since almost half of New Mexicans get their health care through Medicaid. Doctors need to be fairly compensated, otherwise, they won't accept Medicaid, and low-income people won't have access healthcare. I will protect Medicare for our retirees. I do not support Medicare for All or the most recent version that he cosponsored--the "Let Every American Choose Medicare Act." Source: KVIA ABC-7 on 2024 New Mexico Senate race Oct 5, 2024
