Mike Carey voted to extend Covid-era Enhanced Premium Tax Credits through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in January 2026. He stated that this vote aimed to provide certainty to 45,000 Ohioans in his district who rely on these plans. While criticizing the ACA's "failed policies" for high costs, Carey supports bipartisan proposals for more affordable and accessible healthcare options for working families.

““I voted today to extend the enhanced tax credits for ACA plans. The cost of health care is still too high because of the failed Obamacare policies that removed choice and raised premiums with punishing government mandates on our working families. Close to 45,000 Ohioans in our district currently have these plans, and I want to make sure that they do not lose access to a plan that they have relied on as Congress continues addressing the high cost of health care.” - U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio-15), Statement after voting to extend Covid-era Enhanced Premium Tax Credits through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), January 8, 2026.”

Mike Carey co-sponsored a national abortion ban without exceptions and legislation in January 2025.

Mike Carey supports America First policies and prioritizes national security. He joined a bipartisan resolution expressing support for Iran protestors. He also criticizes the revocation of the Mexico City Policy, arguing it allows tax dollars to fund abortions in foreign countries.

“It’s unconscionable that the Democrats caved to Planned Parenthood and excluded the Hyde Amendment from their $1.9 trillion spending bill, allowing your tax dollars to fund abortions. Even worse, Joe Biden revoked the Mexico City Policy, allowing your tax dollars to fund abortions in foreign countries. The government should not be in the business of abortion.” — Mike Carey, from Ballotpedia.org”
