Donald McEachin on Health Care

Affordable health care should be considered a human right

• push for targeted reforms that improve and strengthen the Affordable Care Act, including measures to lower costs for working families
• seek new incentives for states to expand Medicaid and ensure that working families have access to quality, affordable health care
• oppose efforts to replace Medicare with a voucher system, block grant Medicaid, or otherwise shift new costs to seniors and working families

Opposes repealing the 2010 affordable care act.

The Project Vote Smart Voter Guide inferred how candidates would respond to the question, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?' Project Vote Smart notes, "in response to the increasing unwillingness of candidates to answer issue questions, Project Vote Smart has researched Congressional candidates' public records to determine candidates' likely responses on certain key issues. These issue positions, from the year 2016, are provided [for candidates who] refused to provide voters with positions on key issues covered by the 2016 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their parties and advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
