	David Trone on Health Care

Close Medicaid coverage gap and expand it into all 50 states

Quality healthcare is a basic human right, and the government's job is to ensure that right for all. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, we've made great strides towards realizing the goal of universal health coverage. We are on the right track toward universal coverage. Uninsured rates are at historic lows, and millions of people have gained coverage because of the law. When it comes to expanding coverage, we need to close the Medicaid coverage gap and expand Medicaid in all 50 states. Source: 2018 MD-6 House campaign website DavidTronecom , Oct 29, 2018

ObamaCare made progress; now expand to all

Keep ObamaCare, according to PVS survey.

Trone opposes the PVS survey question on repealing ObamaCare

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
