“I think voters will get a chance to see two candidates who are committed to two very different visions for the country,” Sams said.

“Just today, for example, we have a new report from the campaign about the famous Donald Trump in the first debate saying he has a ‘conceptual plan’ for health care. “Now, right after that, JD Vance, his vice president, came out and explained what this plan meant with urgency – that we were going to reopen so-called high-risk pools, for people with pre-existing conditions.”

“He’s looking forward to the debate,” Sams said of Walz. “I think he’s looking forward to the debate over JD Vance, who again continues to advocate for a return to high-risk pools, putting people with pre-existing conditions back into these high-risk pools that could cost them more money and kick them out.” excluded from your insurance.

“We want to make sure everyone is covered. But the best way to do this is to actually encourage more choice in our healthcare system, rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach that puts a lot of people in the same insurance pools into the same risk pools, which actually makes it harder for people to make the right decisions for their families.

Sams said he ultimately believes the November election will be “very close” and that voters will have the final say on what issues are most important to them when they go to the ballot box.

“I think when we look at the fact that we only have about 36 days until the election, the candidates need to be out there and earn the support of the people. And that’s a 50:50 race,” he told MacCallum.
