She has been a vocal critic of the UK's National Health Service.[9] She has advocated for a reformation of the public service which would introduce market forces and competition like those of EU countries such as Germany and Switzerland.[10]

In 2016, Andrews defended gun rights in the USA. She argued that the U.S. government should instead focus on improving mental health services and gun education.[13]
