His campaign issues page states no position on health care; its national defense section lists mental health beside veterans, active military and military families.

She is among the Senate sponsors of an Iowa cancer research program (Senate File 63, 2025), prescription-drug affordability (Senate File 264, 2025), insulin coverage (Senate File 209, 2025) and lung-cancer screening coverage (Senate File 417, 2025), and she is the sole sponsor of a second insulin-coverage bill (Senate File 2322, 2026) and of a bill on Medicaid and children's health insurance coverage for mental health services in school-based settings (Senate File 478, 2025).

The card does not weigh whether any of them would have the effect the platform describes.
