RENACCI PLEDGES TO REPEAL “OBAMACARE”
Boccieri opponent commits to undoing Democrats’ destruction of health care
Wadsworth—Today, Republican candidate for congress in Ohio’s 16th district, Jim Renacci, joined fellow conservatives across the country in signing a pledge to support and sponsor legislation aimed at repealing any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, once elected to Congress.
The “Repeal It!” pledge, sponsored by the conservative political action organization, The Club for Growth, is a nationwide movement to unify support among federal office holders and candidates for the repeal of the federal takeover of health care, which Washington Democrats are working to pass in 2010. By signing the pledge, Jim Renacci has further signaled the strength of his commitment to fighting against a government takeover of America’s health care system and to protecting the high quality of medical care that Americans currently have.
“While we must strive to reduce the cost of health care and make it more affordable for all Americans, the legislation currently being pushed by the White House and congressional Democrats does nothing to address the root causes of escalating costs, while it threatens to destroy the quality of care that Americans now receive. The answer to lower health care costs does not lie in a massive government takeover that will increase taxes and take a sledge hammer to a system that provides the highest quality care in the world,” Renacci said.
“If we are going to decrease costs, we must increase competition in the marketplace by allowing consumers to purchase insurance across state lines. Further cost reductions can be achieved by passing meaningful tort reform, which will help eliminate the need for the costly and unnecessary practice of defensive medicine that has increased costs on the entire system. Implementing a destructive and costly government takeover will not address the problems that exist, it will compound them, and in congress I will work to repeal the misguided and dangerous legislation that Democrats now seem poised to pass.”
