Scott Wagner’s running for governor, but he’s running away from supporting affordable, quality health care for Pennsylvanians. He wants to see Obamacare repealed which would gut Medicaid and strip health care from seniors and working families.
“Scott Wagner doesn’t care if Pennsylvanians lose their access to health care,” said Beth Melena, Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. “Millions of Pennsylvanians will be affected by an Obamacare repeal including people with pre-existing conditions, seniors that need access to affordable prescription drugs, and people suffering from the disease of addiction that need treatment. But Scott Wagner is simply too busy being the ultimate Harrisburg insider to spend any time coming up with real solutions to ensuring Pennsylvanians have access to quality, affordable health care.”
