Lonegan Fires Back at Kathleen Sebelius and Obamacare
“Senior citizens who worked their whole lives and planned to rely on their private, employer-provided healthcare plans are now facing the loss of those plans and the uncertainty of the Obamacare exchanges.”
HOBOKEN, NJ – Mayor Steve Lonegan, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, today spoke out about the latest attempt by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to prop up Obamacare on an apparent promotional tour for the flawed law.
“Senior citizens who worked their whole lives and planned to rely on their private, employer-provided healthcare plans are now facing the loss of those plans and the uncertainty of the Obamacare exchanges,” Lonegan said.
Lonegan pledged to fight to repeal Obamacare as a member of the Senate and to promote policies that would foster less expensive free-market healthcare solutions for consumers and taxpayers.
“This is an expensive law; expensive for taxpayers, expensive for employers, expensive for local governments, and certainly expensive for those who will be forced to buy insurance they neither want nor can afford.”
Lonegan served as Bogota Mayor for twelve years, winning three times in a town that gave Barack Obama 67.5 percent of the vote in 2012. He served for seven years as state director of Americans for Prosperity New Jersey, where he helped defeat liberal attempts to expand big government. Steve Lonegan is the conservative Republican candidate in the New Jersey special election for the United States Senate. Lonegan stands firmly on the bedrock conservative values of small government, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty.
