HEALTHCARE
Brian Poindexter
Brian says affordable health care should provide working families with the same stability as fair wages and a secure retirement.

Max Miller
Max voted for the 2025 Republican tax and spending law, which made deep cuts to Medicaid and created new hurdles for many of the more than 700,000 Ohioans who rely on Medicaid expansion—all while providing major tax breaks that disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans like himself. Analysts estimate that the law’s Medicaid and Marketplace changes will ultimately leave approximately 320,000 Ohioans without health insurance. Meanwhile, after enhanced federal tax credits expired, Marketplace enrollment in Ohio fell by more than 161,000 people, or 32.4%—the largest percentage decline in the country—as coverage became unaffordable for more families.
