Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Says Medicaid and Medicare Were “Mistakes”
WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Says Medicaid and Medicare Were “Mistakes”
In newly unearthed footage first shared by MeidasTouch, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said that he believed Medicare and “particularly Medicaid” “were a mistake.”
Getting rid of Medicaid and Medicare would take away health care from millions, devastate Ohio’s hospitals and nursing homes and be catastrophic for families everywhere in the state, particularly rural areas. In fact, over 25% of Ohio’s population relies on Medicaid and nearly 4 in 10 births in Ohio are covered by Medicaid. Additionally, nearly 20% of Ohio’s population, over 2.5 million people, relies on Medicare.
“Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t even need to think twice before endorsing ripping away health care from millions of Ohioans who get care from Medicaid and Medicare,” said DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy. “By letting slip even more of his costly, cruel, and deeply unpopular agenda, Ramaswamy is reminding Ohioans yet again why he’s totally unqualified to serve as governor.”
