缅因州民主党参议员候选人特洛伊·杰克逊周日表示，他正围绕华盛顿许多参议员“不在乎”的议题开展竞选。杰克逊在CNN《国家联盟》节目中接受达娜·巴什采访时强调：“至少在缅因州，我们没有人站在普通百姓这边，而这正是我要去做的。”他表示将致力于改善健康保险，确保“全民医保”制度，并降低燃料账单。“我认为孩子们不应该为这些事情担心，”他继续说。
Democratic Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson on Sunday said that he's campaigning on issues that many senators in Washington don't "give a s--- about." Jackson pitched his campaign in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" with Dana Bash. He emphasized that "at least in Maine, we don't have anyone in everyday people's corners, and that's definitely what I'm going there for," to advocate for improving health insurance and to ensure "a Medicare for All system," as well as lowering fuel bills. "That's something that I don't think kids should have to worry about," he continued.
“这些正是我要带到美国参议院的议题，因为我认为那里没有多少人会在乎这些事。”杰克逊还说：“我对为我关心的人服务有着强烈的渴望，而这正是我过去20年来一直在做的——为人们争取普惠校餐、托儿服务、处方药，努力让医疗更好。”“我曾与大型制药公司抗争，”他补充道。“你知道的，我就是这样。我为需要有人站在他们这边的人而战。”
"Those are things that I'm going to bring to the U.S. Senate because I don't think there's many people down there to give a s--- about that stuff." Jackson described having "an intense desire to deliver for people I care about, and that's what I have been doing for the last 20 years, deliver for people universal school meals, childcare, prescription drugs, trying to make healthcare better." "I have gone up against Big Pharma," he added. "You know, I do.
巴什询问杰克逊他在伯尼·桑德斯（I-Vt.）2020年总统竞选期间对单一支付者医疗体系的早期支持，以及他的“全民医保”计划如何在四年内逐步淘汰私人保险计划并转向公共体系。杰克逊表示，他的计划与桑德斯的类似，将提供“全面覆盖”，且没有“高额自付费用”之类的问题。“每当我们尝试这样做时，就像……每个人都必须加入该计划，”杰克逊说。
I fight for the people that need someone in their corner." Bash asked Jackson about his early support for single-payer healthcare during Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential campaign and how his "Medicare for All" plan would phase out private plans over a four-year period and go public. Jackson said his plan, like Sanders's, would provide "great coverage" without "obscene co-pays and things like that."
“我的意思是，我认为争议之处在于，医疗行业和大型制药公司让人们觉得他们无法获得同样好的保障，实际上会得到更差的待遇。”前缅因州参议院议长杰克逊表示，美国。
"Whenever we have tried to do this, is, like, everyone has to get into the plan," Jackson said. "I mean, I think the controversy over this is that the health care industry, Big Pharma has made people feel like they're not going to get as good a coverage, you will be getting something less than."
“总是[有]钱可以花在航空母舰和类似的东西上，但一旦你开始谈论医疗保健，人们就会开始表现得好像根本没有办法做到这一点。” “我的意思是，我知道的每一个工业化国家都能够负担得起医疗保健费用，”他继续说道。“我相当确定我们在这里也能做到。”杰克逊和缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯（共和党-缅因州）在周四的最后一场辩论中正面交锋，在这场辩论中，缅因州民主党人试图把柯林斯与特朗普总统及其议程捆绑在一起，而她则强调自己反对盲目追随自己的政党或特朗普。
The former Maine Senate president said that the U.S. "always [has] money to spend on aircraft carriers and things like that, but as soon as you start talking about healthcare, people start acting like there's no way to do this." "I mean, every country that I know that's industrial has been able to pay for healthcare," he continued. "I'm pretty sure we can do it here too." Jackson and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) squared off in their last debate on Thursday, where the Maine Democrat tried to pin Collins to President Trump and his agenda, while she stressed her resistance to blindly following her party or Trump.
她承认，一项分析发现她有56次投票改变了结果，但她没有具体说明。“现实情况是，当唐纳德·特朗普需要她时，苏珊·柯林斯百分之百的时间都会在那里，”杰克逊说。Decision Desk HQ，《国会山报》的选举合作伙伴，显示杰克逊赢得参议院选举的概率为54%，而柯林斯的概率为46%。”
She acknowledged that an analysis found 56 instances where her votes changed an outcome but did not specify. "The reality is that 100 percent of the time, when Donald Trump needs her, Susan Collins is going to be there," Jackson said. Decision Desk HQ, The Hill's election partner, shows a narrow 54-percent probability that Jackson wins the Senate race, with a 46-percent probability for Collins.
