Fisher Campaign Rocked by Obamacare
Revelation
By
James Scott Trimm
Confronted by the facts now coming forth
from The Texas Scorecard documenting his efforts as former chair of the JPS
board to bring Obamacare to Texas, Fisher is now making the outrageous claim
that he actually “stood up against Obamacare and won.”
The fact is that the uncovered documents
“reveal that in April 2013, Scott Fisher urged fellow JPS board members to pass
a resolution “supporting Medicaid expansion for Texas” under the provisions ofObamaCare.” (Texas Scorcard)
Below is the actual snapshot from the
minutes of that meeting, as obtained by the Texas Scorecard:
Moreover, in this very blog we have also
uncovered the Obamacare money trail that leads to Scott Fisher. The most recent campaign finance reports
show that Fisher’s single largest contributor is the Texas Medical
Association’s TexPac. TexPac has
largely bankrolled Fisher’s campaign, donating thousands of dollars, more than
10% of his total campaign funding:
TexPac is pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia,
pro-death panel and very much pro-Obamacare.
TexPac is not pouring thousands of dollars into Fisher’s campaign so he
can fight Obamacare!
Do not let these mud slingers succeed in replacing a true conservative with an Austin Establishment, Democrat backed recruit who wants to bring Obamacare to Texas!
This claim is a total fabrication! Texas Scorecard failed to check the facts, and facts are pesky things! A resolution was presented to the JPS Board of Managers to encourage the Texas Legislature to call for Medicaid expansion in Texas. I totally opposed the resolution, introduced an anti-Obamacare resolution and that resolution was the "revised resolution" that passed unanimously. JPS is the only public hospital in Texas that did NOT support Medicaid expansion in Texas.
ReplyDeleteWell you are welcome to provide the complete text of the resolution, however Empower Texans is standing behind their story. If they print a retraction let me know, in the mean time.... the story stands.
