PA Dems, Schwartz, Ding Romney on Health Care
By Elyse Clonan
As Republicans choose their nominee, Democrats from DC to Pa. haven't taken their eye off the ball: Mitt Romney. Pa. Dems organized a conference call Thursday afternoon to critique Romney's health care and entitlement program policies.
Pennsylvania seniors need to be fully aware of the threat Mitt Romney's policies could pose to the American health care system, Pennsylvania Democratic Chairman Jim Burn argued in a press conference call on Monday afternoon.
The call also featured Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (D-Montgomery), who has worked on a number of health care issues in Washington.
"Given that Pennsylvania is home to the second-largest senior population behind Florida," Burns said, "the Congresswoman and I were both disturbed by Mitt Romney's pandering in Florida in this week as he campaigned for President, telling seniors that he would protect Medicare while we all know that his policies would dismantle the program and turn it into a voucher system."
