NEW YORK VOTERS TO OBAMACARE: WE STILL DON’T LIKE IT OR THE CANDIDATES THAT SUPPORT IT
Independent Women's Voice Congratulates John Faso on NY-19 Victory
Washington, DC) – Responding to John Faso's victory in the race for New York's 19th Congressional District Independent Women’s Voice (IWV) President and CEO Heather Higgins tonight issued the following statement:
“Five weeks ago, Bill Clinton said ObamaCare is ‘the craziest thing in the world’ and voters must agree.
“We’re pleased that former state lawmaker John Faso signed IWV’s ObamaCare Repeal Pledge to show his commitment to overturning this monstrosity, and we’re thrilled to congratulate Faso on his reelection victory in New York.
“Those who said ObamaCare no longer matters to voters are self-deluded. The more people experience its negative effects the more they dislike it—and rightly so.
"Independent Women's Forum (IWF), IWV's sister organization, launched health care issue education initiatives in Faso's state before voters headed to the polls. They included critical information on ObamaCare, so that New York citizens could make more informed decisions on the issue.
"We're glad to see IWF's efforts to inform the American people about the health care law were successful in expanding the population that recognizes how ObamaCare is increasingly harmful, costly and counterproductive.
"The American people are tired of candidates who say one thing on the stump, then act differently when they get to DC. That's why the Repeal Pledge matters to voters, and why candidates who support real reform, like Faso, sign the Repeal Pledge.
“ObamaCare has never been popular with the American people—whether in polls or at the ballot box. The ObamaCare Repeal Pledge was created as a trusted shorthand for candidates to show constituents their commitment to undoing this damaging law and creating a better system that helps all Americans. The power of this issue and this pledge was seen again tonight in New York."
IWV advocates not just repeal, but defunding, deauthorizing, and dismantling the misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This victory moves us one step closer to better health care in this country. Congratulations and welcome to Washington John Faso!
