Neal Dunn is a urologist. He founded a 50-physician medical practice. He calls himself a doctor who understands health care better than the average politician.

So why does his voting record look like it was written by a pharmaceutical lobbyist?

VOTED TO REPEAL THE ACA AND RISK PRE-EXISTING CONDITION PROTECTIONS

According to his own press release, Dunn proudly voted for the American Health Care Act — the bill to “repeal Obamacare.” The American College of Physicians called that vote “extremely disappointing” and warned it “would result in millions of Americans losing their coverage.”

The bill allowed states to waive protections for people with pre-existing conditions — meaning insurers could charge them whatever they wanted.

VOTED AGAINST $35 INSULIN CAPS

When Congress voted on the Affordable Insulin Now Act, Dunn voted no. The bill would have capped insulin at $35 a month for everyone — not just Medicare patients. It passed 232-193, with 12 Republicans breaking ranks. Dunn was not one of them.

In a district with some of the lowest household incomes in Florida, where Jackson County sees uninsured rates in the 40 to 42 percent range, this was a vote against the people who needed it most.

VOTED AGAINST LETTING MEDICARE NEGOTIATE DRUG PRICES

When the Inflation Reduction Act came to a vote — the law that capped insulin for seniors, allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time, and capped annual out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 — Dunn voted against it. He dismissed it as “inflationary spending” and “increasing taxes.”

THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

While voting against lower drug prices, Dunn was receiving over $273,000 from health industry donors — his top funding source. He also held $32,500 in pharmaceutical and health products investments while voting on health care legislation.

And he pushed legislation that would let physicians own hospitals — a practice restricted under the ACA specifically because of the kind of conflicts of interest Dunn himself embodies.

THE PEOPLE HE LEFT BEHIND

Florida Policy Institute found that low-income adults in Florida’s rural areas face uninsured rates of 37% — 13 points higher than in metro areas. In counties within Dunn’s own district, that figure climbs to 40-42%.

These are the people he claimed to represent. These are the people his votes consistently failed.
