Vaccinations for dangerous diseases; but COVID was overreach

Q: What most closely matches your view on healthcare?

A: [Chose choice C) "Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary." Comment:] If elected governor, my plan for improving healthcare for all North Carolinians includes creating more transparency in medical billing, tackling waste, fraud and abuse in the system to help further reduce costs and save taxpayer dollars, and supporting rural healthcare providers to make sure that North Carolinians of all backgrounds and communities can access the care they need.

Q: Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

A: I support current law that requires vaccinations for dangerous diseases before attending school with religious and medical exemptions. I oppose the overreach and mandates from the COVID-19 pandemic such as requiring COVID-19 vaccines.

State can provide something better than Medicaid expansion

While a number of elected Republicans have changed their minds on Medicaid expansion recently, Robinson isn’t one of them. "I'm not in favor of Medicaid expansion," he said. "I hope that it fails because I don't want our health care in this state to be turned over to the federal government. … We have enough talented people in North Carolina that we can come up with our own healthcare system that would be far better than anything the federal government can provide in Medicaid expansion."
