IWV Congratulates 68 Victorious ObamaCare Repeal Pledge Signers
(Washington, D.C.) — Celebrating the victory of 68 (total number pending final outcome of races not yet called) signers of the ObamaCare Repeal Pledge, Independent Women’s Voice President & CEO Heather R. Higgins released the following statement:
“Independent Women's Voice (IWV) congratulates the 68 (and counting) candidates and lawmakers who signed the ObamaCare Repeal Pledge and were victorious in their respective elections last night, a 76 percent success rate.
“Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), IWV’s sister organization, launched multiple health care issue education initiatives around the country before voters headed to the polls, including critical information on ObamaCare, so that citizens could make more informed decisions on the issue. And where there was a tossup race with a Repeal Pledge signer running, Independent Women’s Voice alerted the public regarding which candidates had pledged to repeal the noxious law.**
“We’re glad to see that IWF’s and IWV’s efforts to inform the American people about the health care law were successful in expanding the population that recognizes for themselves how ObamaCare is increasingly harmful, costly and counterproductive.
“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 their commitment to their constituents to helping Americans find their way to superior health care, and it’s power was seen again last night.
"We're glad to have these 68 victorious candidates working with us to see that ObamaCare is fully and completely replaced with something that is truly affordable, accessible, and that returns choice and control to patients and their doctors.
