民主党人佩珀抨击共和党候选人呼吁废除医疗保险和医疗补助，理由是成本上升，导致12万俄亥俄州民失去保险覆盖。 Democrat Pepper attacks GOP candidate’s call to scrap Medicare and Medicaid, citing rising costs and 120,000 Ohioans dropped from coverage.

民主党副州长提名人David Pepper批评共和党州长候选人Vivek Ramaswamy称医保和医疗补助为“错误”, 警告他们这种观点危及超过550万依赖这些计划的俄亥俄人。 David Pepper, Democratic lieutenant governor nominee, criticized Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for calling Medicare and Medicaid "mistakes," warning such views endanger over 5.5 million Ohioans who rely on the programs. Pepper强调,自2026年1月1日以来,美国民航局的保险费不断上涨,一些俄亥俄州人每月的费用高达1 200美元,并指出,由于价格可承受性,汇兑减少了120 000美元。 Pepper highlighted rising ACA premiums since January 1, 2026, with some Ohioans facing monthly costs up to $1,200, and noted 120,000 dropped from the exchange due to affordability. 他强调Amy Acton博士计划降低处方药价格、提高成本透明度、加强医疗补助计划。 He emphasized Dr. Amy Acton’s plan to reduce prescription drug prices, increase cost transparency, and strengthen Medicaid. Pepper和保健倡导者警告说,取消这些方案将使费用转向紧急护理,使弱势人口得不到护理。 Pepper and healthcare advocates warned that dismantling these programs would shift costs to emergency care and leave vulnerable populations without care. 拉姆斯瓦米(Ramaswamy)的竞选运动反驳了Acton的政策抬高成本、抑制工资, Ramaswamy’s campaign countered that Acton’s policies raise costs and suppress wages, promoting his own reform agenda. 这次活动在马奥宁县民主党总部举行,强调保健在即将举行的选举中的中心作用。 The event, held at the Mahoning County Democratic Party headquarters, underscored health care’s central role in the upcoming election.
