Buchanan should follow through, end Obamacare

Bail out Obamacare? No! Some members of Congress are urging Republicans to begin negotiations to “stabilize” Obamacare. They mean bail it out.

I am writing to urge readers to contact Congressman Vern Buchanan to tell him to follow through on his repeated campaign promises and replace Obamacare.

And did you know our lawmakers and congressional staff get insurance subsidies so they don’t feel the full burden of Obamacare?

Contact our president to overturn the Office of Personnel Management’s guidance that allows those subsidies.
