BOB CASEY AND THE GOP LIE ON HEALTH CARE

So the statewide Republican party has a huge set of balls attacking Senator Bob Casey on his health care stance! READ THIS and tell me how out of whack these people are.
Pennsylvania Republicans and health care professionals Friday expressed concern over U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s healthcare record, arguing his support for Medicaid expansion and Obamacare is a slippery slope toward socialized medicine.
Just who are the health care professional saying this? GOP Republicans? This is the same old song the REPUBLICAN party has been singing since FDR signed the Social Security Act and LBJ introduced Medicare and Medicaid! It is untrue and tiresome.
“Bob Casey’s record on healthcare and his silence on the increasingly socialist movement of his Party’s stance on the issue should give Pennsylvanians pause as they consider who to vote for in November,” said Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Val DiGiorgio.
Hey Val, if you ever landed in a truly socialist country, you’d be squirming and whining like a little puppy. Why is it that anything that helps the rich is entrepreneurial and anything that helps people struggling is socialist.
"Bob Casey’s support of Medicaid expansion and Obamacare—which has seen Pennsylvania premiums increase by 120 ercent—show he is comfortable with joining the leftward tilt of his Party toward supporting policies like single-payer healthcare or Medicare for all.
No Val it’s the insurance companies that raise the premiums not Obamacare. They make the rules. Sometimes as they’re going along. Single payer Val? You guys cry “deficit, deficit, deficit” when health care for all is mentioned, I mean the stuff that saves lives but when you let your rich friends feed at the trough again with Trump tax cuts to the rich, “oh it’ll pay for itself”.
God forbid we expand Medicaid to help the disabled or those truly in need. You have poisoned the minds with your lies. I know a few people on Medicaid who support your party. Why would they bite the hand that feed them? They have no stake in your tax cuts because they barely getting by! But if you lie long and hard enough, gullible ingrates will follow. But this year your LIES will not work!
This is an answer to your misrepresentation of Casey on health care.
Here’s the real story on Bob Casey’s record on health care. It’s about people in need, real people, not those corporate buddies of yours getting fat and happy on the lives of people dying from inadequate health care in this country.

CASEY COMES TO TOWN

While Lou Barletta was bussing it across the state with his pooch,  and endorsing the Trump agenda in all of its ugliness to middle class working Pennsylvanians, Senator Bob Casey stopped by the River Grille on Friday afternoon. Here are a few photos taken by our friend Gort 42 who was at the event. I would have attended but my new promotion at work kind of prohibited that.
