Scott Fisher's Secret Obamacare Agenda

Scott Fisher's Secret Obamacare Agenda

In the recently released financial reports, Scott Fisher’s largest single contributor by far was the Texas Medical Association’s TEXPAC which has funneled literally thousands of dollars into Fisher’s campaign, totally more than ten percent of his total financial support!

Not only is TEXPAC pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia and pro-death panel, but TEXPAC is also a big pusher for bringing Obamacare to Texas! 

So why is TEXPAC pouring thousands of dollars into the Fisher campaign?  And why did TEXPAC recently announce that they are endorsing Fisher (as well as Geren, Cook, Straus and others)?

Well today Empower Texans has published documents which they have uncovered showing that at the very same time Stickland was fighting to keep Obamacare out of Texas, Scott Fisher (serving as “past board chair”) of Taxpayer funded JPS Health Network, was fighting to bring Obamacare to Texas. 

Tony McDonald of the Texas Scorecard reports:

Documents uncovered by Texas Scorecard reveal that in April 2013, Scott Fisher urged fellow JPS board members to pass a resolution “supporting Medicaid expansion for Texas” under the provisions of ObamaCare.

Scott Fisher’s ObamaCare resolution passed the JPS board just one week after Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R–Bedford) led the fight against an amendment to the state budget that would have implemented the program. The liberal leadership of the Texas House brought an amendment to the budget implementing the ObamaCare Medicaid expansion before conservatives, led by Stickland, turned the effort back.
Fisher claims to champion the second amendment (though Stickland has the NRA endorsement), Fisher claims to be against illegal immigration (though he is endorsed by BacPac) and he claims to be the pro-life candidate (though his biggest contributor is TEXPAC and Stickland has the Texas Right to Life endorsement).  So if Fisher claims to stand for all of the things that Stickland has already been standing for, why run?  Well his hidden agenda is now revealed.  Scott Fisher wants to bring Obamacare to Texas!

The Empower Texans article goes on to say:

Expanding Medicaid under Obamacare is the number one healthcare platform plank of the Texas Democratic Party. No wonder then that Democrats have also been working with the Scott Fisher campaign to fuel nasty personal attacks against Stickland.

As we broke the news in this very blog, Fisher’s campaign has resorted to working with a known Democrat Operative to obtain “dirt” for their despicable smear campaign against conservative hero Jonathan Stickland.

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!
