He and family took hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus
Marshall and his family are taking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine preventatively against Covid-19.
He told The Wall Street Journal he "would encourage any person over the age of 65 or with an underlying medical condition to talk to their own physician about taking hydroxychloroquine" and that he's "relieved" Trump is taking it.

Government interferes with doctor-patient relationship
Government-run healthcare has not only harmed small business, but directly interferes with the doctor-patient relationship. We must repeal and replace these broken systems. In Congress, Congressman Marshall voted in favor of the repeal of the individual
mandate, repeal of the Cadillac tax, and the repeal of the medical device tax; all of which President Trump then signed into law. Dr. Marshall supports covering individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Affordable Care Act is neither affordable nor caring
The most important issue in health care is the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. When government gets involved, prices increase and quality of care decreases. By interfering with the free market, government creates distortions that have led
to more government intervention. ObamaCare, or the so-called Affordable Care Act, is neither affordable nor caring--it must be repealed and replaced. Instead of health care costs decreasing and access growing, we have seen the reverse: it is more
expensive, less accessible, and less effective. Too many providers are now struggling to keep their doors open and Kansans are struggling to pay the higher cost of insurance.
Dr. Marshall is committed to using his extensive medical background to repeal ObamaCare and will fight to return health care to a system that is controlled by families, patients, and doctors - not Washington D.C.

Supports repealing the 2010 affordable care act.
Marshall supports the PVS survey question on ObamaCare
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."

Marshall opposes the AFA survey question on universal coverage
The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'It is the government's responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance'?
Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
