In response to Senate Republicans voting to advance the health care agenda supported by Epstein, Young, and James, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein issued the following statement:
“Lena Epstein, Bob Young, and John James all support the Republican health care agenda that spikes costs and strips coverage for hardworking Michiganders and today, their expensive plan came one step closer to becoming a reality. Their party’s proposals would impose an age tax on older Americans, increase premiums, and strip away coverage for pre-existing conditions — all to give big insurance companies and the wealthy a massive tax break. This vote continues to guarantee that their harmful health care agenda — particularly its failure to address the outrageous cost of prescription drugs — will be front and center and, as they run for Senate, voters will hold them accountable.”
