I have practiced medicine in Ohio for 22 years. I specialize in the retina, and see patients every day with vision loss from diabetic retinopathy. Many rely on Medicare or Medicaid, so I was incensed to learn that gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy agreed with an interviewer that Medicare and Medicaid’s creation was an historical “mistake.”
This attitude is dangerous and out of touch, and threatens healthcare access for millions of Ohioans. In contrast, Dr. Amy Acton understands the importance of access to care that prevents blindness and saves lives. She will fight to lower healthcare costs and expand access.
