Broun denies health care coverage crisis in America.

Athens, GA. – Bobby Saxon, candidate for Georgia’s Tenth Congressional District, released the following statement in response to U.S. Representative Paul Broun, Jr.’s visit to Hart County’s Eggs and Issues Breakfast. While addressing the crowd, Broun stated that “the idea that there are 40 million Americans without healthcare is hogwash.”

“I was deeply offended to hear our Congressman deny that we have a serious healthcare crisis in our nation and I condemn his lack of concern. Not only is he ignoring the urgency of this issue, he left out 7 million people. Each day, 47 million Americans go without basic medical coverage, and our Representative in Washington needs to be aware of and concerned with that fact. We can’t solve this problem tomorrow, but together we can work on new courses of action to fight this crisis, and we can start today. One of my first suggestions is to put one more Georgia doctor back in the business of caring for patients – Dr. Paul Broun, Jr.

“I’ll tell you what’s ‘hogwash’ -- a Congressman showing contempt for hard-working Americans like us. When I’m elected, I will fight the real fight for our families and our values.”

Bobby Saxon is an Iraq war veteran and small business owner running for Georgia’s Tenth Congressional District. He is a Major in the Georgia National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon.
