Brown will protect health care

Cathy McMorris Rodgers says there is no plan to reform Medicare or Social Security in the Republican-led House. She and the chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee must not be on the same page. Steve Stivers, chairman of the committee, said in an interview with John Harwood of CNBC that entitlements including Social Security needed to be reformed to pay down the deficit.

McMorris Rodgers further states Trump has taken these issues off the table. She would have us believe a man whom the Washington Post fact checker has credited with over 5,000 lies or distortions of the truth in just 20 months in office. Would you buy a used car from him? She has also been less than honest about her votes on the Children’s Health Insurance Plan. Her numerous votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) are on the record.

If you have a concern about health care, Medicare and Social Security, then vote for the candidate who has pledged to preserve and improve upon these programs. That person is Lisa Brown.
