she can’t be serious

September 17, 2019

At a Rotary Club event in Cedar Rapids yesterday, Abby Finkenauer expressed concern for the prospect of rural hospitals closing. What Abby left out was that it’s her own socialist agenda that’s putting those hospitals at risk.

Earlier this month, a study showed that Democrats’ plan for a socialist “public option” for health insurance would force the closure of as many as 52 rural hospitals in Iowa, threatening the care for countless families in rural communities. Finkenauer, of course, is a long time supporter of the public option, even making it a centerpiece of her 2018 campaign.

NRCC Comment: “If Abby Finkenauer truly cared about rural health care she would abandon her socialist agenda that’s threatening to close dozens of hospitals in rural Iowa. It’s unfortunate that Finkenauer cares more about her liberal ideology than the health and safety of Iowa families.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
