DENVER, CO – Colorado Lt. Gov. Jane Norton (R-CO) today issued the following statement:
“Coloradans aren’t going to believe John Kerry’s misleading campaign trail promises on health care in light of his pledge to repeal the President’s Medicare reforms, which save seniors money on prescription drugs. By wanting to turn back the President’s guarantee of affordable prescription drugs, Kerry is ignoring the priorities of Colorado seniors for the sake of his own political advantage.
“Kerry’s out of the mainstream Senate record includes votes against additional funding for state Medicaid programs--including more than $1 billion for Colorado--and votes against a $25 billion rural health care package to ensure every American access to quality, affordable health care. The President has initiated historic reforms to our health care system, but John Kerry opposes curbing the frivolous medical liability lawsuits that are costing Americans as much as $108 billion each year. Kerry’s commitment to lining the pockets of the trial lawyers who have donated more money to him than any other senator over the past 15 years rather than helping Colorado families access affordable health care is making it impossible for him to earn the trust of our state’s voters.”
speak the truth, amen
One can only hope she is the next governor of Colorado.
