Kathleen Hochul – Booed about her party’s Government Healthcare Takeover
In case you missed it on Friday, Kathy Hochul was confronted and booed by her constituents about her party’s government healthcare takeover. It’s no wonder she and her Democrat colleagues don’t want to talk about how much the massive law intrudes into voters lives.
Hochul may like to dance around her support of Obamacare for political convenience, but voters – both in Western New York and across the country – are sending a clear message that they don’t like the Democrats’ big-government intrusion and support the law’s repeal.
As you cover more Hochul town halls and campaign stops, consider the following quote:
NRCC Comment: “It’s time Kathy Hochul quit rubber-stamping the Democrat party agenda and listen to the will of her constituents. Democrats have already broken their promise that Obamacare won’t affect your health care if you like it. What other big-government intrusions are Western New Yorkers in store for on her watch?” – NRCC Spokesman Nat Sillin.
VIDEO – NY REP. KATHY HOCHUL BOOED OVER OBAMACARE’S ATTACK ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: “Representative Kathy Hochul (D – 26th District) was booed at her own town hall meeting on Friday morning in Lancaster. The packed crowd was critical of Hochul for supporting President Obama’s plan to require religiously affiliated employers, such as hospitals and schools, to provide full contraception coverage to female employees…Pastor Leon Biernat of Our Lady of Pompeii Church also asked Hochul if the President or Congress consulted with Catholic bishops before they issued the policy. Hochul replied that it was a good question and she would try to get an answer.” http://bit.ly/zhrNwN
NEW POLLS SHOW VOTERS INCREASINGLY DISSATISFIED WITH OBAMACARE’S MASSIVE GOVERNMENT INTRUSION INTO THEIR LIVES: “The health care overhaul that President Obama intended to be the signature achievement of his first term instead has become a significant problem in his bid for a second one, uniting Republicans in opposition and eroding his standing among independents. In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of the nation’s dozen top battleground states, a clear majority of registered voters call the bill’s passage ‘a bad thing’ and support its repeal if a Republican wins the White House in November.” (USA Today, 2/27/12)
