Senator Cornyn: Fighting To Put An End To Obamacare
Long before Obamacare was signed into law, Sen. Cornyn was hard at work criss-crossing the state to talk with Texans about the perils of the President’s plans for the biggest government takeover of health care in U.S. history. Sen. Cornyn has met with families, small business owners, employees, providers and senior citizens from across Texas to voice his opposition to Obamacare and outline his ideas for real health care reform that brings down costs and boosts access to health care for all Texans.
Sen. Cornyn hosted roundtable discussion with health care providers in Tyler, Texas.
In the Senate, Sen. Cornyn has been one of the leading voices of opposition to Obamacare and has rallied his colleagues at every turn to undo the President’s “signature” law.
