You Don’t Have to Settle for a Future Crippled by Perlmutter’s Government Takeover of Healthcare

Disappointed Colorado Families Cannot Carry the Increasing Costs of ObamaCare

 

WASHINGTON — After two debates, President Obama has yet to provide a vision for the future and continues to blame others for his policies that have buried small businesses with more regulations and taxes. With Ed Perlmutter at his side, families and small business owners can expect his big-government takeover of healthcare to cost more money and take away more choices in the years to come (Roll Call #460, 7/11/2012).

 

“If Obama and Perlmutter’s vision for the future looks anything like the past four years, Colorado families are in for more devastating costs thanks to ObamaCare,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “This November, Colorado families and job creators are ready to tell Washington Democrats that they simply cannot survive four more years of the Obama-Perlmutter agenda.”

 

After the second presidential debate, alarms sounded when Obama failed, yet again, to provide the American people with his plan for the next four years:

 

“’I just want to say one thing we haven’t brought up yet but it’s incredibly important. The President did not lay out a second term agenda. … it was absent. He didn’t lay out a second term agenda any more than he did in the first debate. And that is where he is the weakest. And he didn’t address it, I thought at all,’ [said Mark Halperin].” (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 10/17/2012)

 

Regardless of Democrats’ promise to decrease them, healthcare costs increased in 2012 as families anticipate what disastrous effects ObamaCare will have when it’s fully implemented in 2014.
