Claudia Tenney on Health Care

 

 


Replace ObamaCare with free-market, patient centric system

Claudia opposes ObamaCare and knows how devastating it has been for families and small businesses--it isn't working; premiums, deductibles and co-pays have skyrocketed. In the New York Assembly, Claudia has consistently voted against New York's efforts to entrench ObamaCare. In Washington, Claudia will vote to defund ObamaCare and advocate for free-market, patient centric healthcare allowing New Yorker's to once again have the right to choose an affordable medical insurance that works for them.

Tenney supports the PVS survey question on ObamaCare

The Project Vote Smart Voter Guide inferred how candidates would respond to the question, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?' Project Vote Smart notes, "in response to the increasing unwillingness of candidates to answer issue questions, Project Vote Smart has researched Congressional candidates' public records to determine candidates' likely responses on certain key issues. These issue positions, from the year 2016, are provided [for candidates who] refused to provide voters with positions on key issues covered by the 2016 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their parties and advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
