SEN. CINDY HOLSCHER ON U.S. SENATE VOTE TO LET HEALTHCARE COSTS SKYROCKET
160,000 Kansans Will Face Skyrocketing Health Care Costs Because of GOP Inaction
OVERLAND PARK, KS – State Senator Cindy Holscher, candidate for Kansas Governor, released the following statement in response to today’s failure by the U.S. Senate to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies and avert rising health care premiums:
“Today’s failure in Washington pushes us closer to catastrophe. Nearly 160,000 Kansans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket – on top of the rising costs Kansans are facing for groceries, housing, and electricity. This coming ahead of the holidays adds insult to injury. Families in Kansas should be worrying about what gifts to buy their kids, not if they’ll even be able to afford a doctor’s visit in January. I call on Kansas Republicans to use their legislative majorities to address this crisis immediately, instead of playing political games and pushing culture war nonsense.”

Cindy Holscher was raised on a farm and brought up with common sense, Midwest values, and a love of her country. Cindy and her husband Greg have lived in Kansas for over 25 years, and their three kids graduated from public schools. She first ran for office to help end the disastrous Brownback experiment and to restore funding to the schools. As a legislator, Cindy co-founded the Women’s Bipartisan Caucus, and she focused on lowering costs for working class and middle class Kansans. Now, she’s running for Governor because Kansas deserves a leader who has a proven track record of fighting for all Kansans.
