The New York Post: on Health Care


Rob Astorino: ObamaCare meltdown changes the political landscape

Campaign sources said the changing national and New York political landscape--brought about by the ObamaCare fiasco and the election of confirmed leftist Bill de Blasio--had convinced Astorino that there's a strong chance he could defeat Cuomo next year.

"Cuomo backed ObamaCare to the nines, and by his own admission, he's a good buddy of de Blasio, whose class-warfare rhetoric and high-tax policies directly contradict what Cuomo claims he wants for New York,'' said a source with direct knowledge of Astorino's thinking. "The ObamaCare meltdown and the political problems de Blasio is going to cause Cuomo change the dynamic in New York to the benefit of a moderate Republican like Rob."
