JD Vance's views on healthcare: What to know

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who was tapped as former President Trump's running mate Monday, has been in the Senate for less than two years but has staked out healthcare positions that both buck his party and toe the GOP line.

Vance is a Yale-educated venture capitalist, but rode the wave of Trump-era populism to a Senate seat. Like most Republicans, he is strongly anti-abortion, opposes gender-affirming care and wants to exclude 'Dreamer’ immigrants from federal health programs.
