Comment by Ron Wyden

U.S. Senator from Oregon, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee; longtime advocate for healthcare and technology policy
I'm going to fight tooth and nail against the Trump administration's efforts to substitute real health care with poorly-regulated AI and robots. Because our country's seniors deserve real care from real doctors, not a Silicon Valley robot.

AI Verified The quote is authentic and verbatim. The cited campaign page on Wyden for Senate, posted February 26, 2026, contains the exact two-sentence wording and is signed "Ron," with the site identifying itself as "Paid for and authorized by Wyden for Senate," supporting attribution to Ron Wyden. LegiStorm also mirrors the same text as a "Campaign press release from Office of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)."

AI Verified Verified. Quote attributed to Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR). Source URL https://www.standtallforamerica.com/2026/02/26/ai-running-your-health-care/ returned 403 via WebFetch, but standtallforamerica.com is confirmed to be Wyden's "Wyden for Senate" campaign site. Quote independently confirmed via WebSearch results, which explicitly show Wyden stating he will "fight tooth and nail against the Trump administration's efforts to substitute real health care with poorly-regulated AI and robots" and that "our country's seniors deserve real care from real doctors, not a Silicon Valley robot." Corroborated by The Ashland Chronicle-Oregon article "AI & Robots To Provide Health Care In Trump's Cost Cutting Future - Senator Wyden Is Fighting To Upend This Scam" and Wyden's introduction of the Seniors Deserve SMARTER Care Act to prohibit CMS's WISeR AI prior authorization model. Year 2026 is valid. Vote alignment "for" is correct - Wyden clearly supports prohibiting AI autonomous decisions in fiduciary health care contexts (Medicare). Author attribution, year, relevancy, vote, and source all verified. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 2mo ago
