RUSH EXCERPT:

ACTON: “Well, I’m a very special kind of doctor. Preventive medicine and public health, which treats whole communities, whole states, whole countries as your patients, the social, environmental, economic determinants of what quality of life we will have. And I train to run all of government. When Bob taft was governor of the state of Ohio. I’ve worked with five governors on both sides of the aisle. Work with anyone on any side of an aisle. And you saw me most recently as the director of health for governor Mike DeWine, a Republican governor. We are fighting with a working families tax cut, a child tax credit. We’re alleviating medical debt. We’re trying to fully fund our public schools in Ohio. We’re pushing back on these Medicaid changes to keep people insured. We’re lowering electric bills. We have plans on our website that go in great detail on policy.”
