Heartless Maggie Hassan Has No Moral Authority on Health Care

The Democrat junior Senator from New Hampshire, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s mini-me, is parroting the party talking points on health care as instructed.

On NHPR the other day, she opined on the latest iteration of the Republican Health Care fix (that is only needed because of what the Democrats did to the health insurance market with ObamaCare).

Look, that is – Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has taken what President Trump called – was a mean health care bill and made it even more heartless. Under the Trumpcare bill from the Senate, if you buy your own insurance, you have to pay more for your coverage. You could face an age tax, which would be especially harmful if you’re between the ages of 50 and 64.

Maggie goes to DC and forgets that her last proposed state budget as governor of New Hampshire cut $58 million dollars out of the New Hampshire Department of health and human services budget. Seven million of that from nursing homes. The same budget increased funding to abortion providers in the state and our overly expensive University System that turns out students with more debt than degrees.

This woman has no moral authority to speak to the issue. Her first instinct when confronted with out-of-control health care costs, driven by the Medicaid expansion provision of ObamaCare, was to throw the elderly under the bus. What a heartless hypocrat.
