Gwen Graham on Health Care |
She was one of a dozen Democrats to vote for the 2015 Save American Workers Act that would have raised ObamaCare's definition of a full-time employee from 30 hours a week to 40. Graham was one of two freshman Democrats to co-sponsor that bill, which Obama vowed to veto and the Congressional Budget Office said would increase the number of uninsured Americans by 500,000 and push more people out of employer-based coverage.
We should be focused on cutting costs and working to fix the problems in the Affordable Care Act to better serve patients. There were many important protections included in the law like preventing discrimination based on gender or preexisting conditions and increasing access to preventative care like breast cancer screenings, but the implementation of the law has been a disaster. The bottom line: Republicans are only focused on totally repealing the law, and Democrats are refusing to make the changes North Florida needs.
CC.org's self-description: "The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.
The Coalition is a political organization, made up of pro-family Americans who care deeply about ensuring that government serves to strengthen and preserve, rather than threaten, our families and our values. To that end, we work continuously to identify, educate and mobilize Christians for effective political action."
