In response to Senate Republicans voting to advance the toxic health care agenda supported by Mandel, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein issued the following statement:
“Josh Mandel supports the toxic Republican health care agenda that spikes costs and strips coverage for hardworking Ohioans and today, this horrific and expensive plan came one step closer to becoming a reality. His 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 guarantees that Mandel’s harmful health care agenda — particularly his desire to roll back Ohio’s successful Medicaid expansion — will be front and center as he runs for Senate.”
