What will Dr. Broun do for you? Not much
if you’re a Georgia child in need of healthcare
ATHENS, Ga. – Democratic Congressional candidate Bobby Saxon
released the following statement on last night's vote in the
House of Representatives to re-authorize the State
Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP). S-CHIP is the
parent program for Georgia's successful PeachCare program,
which provides affordable health insurance to hundreds of
thousands of Georgia children.
“I'm deeply disappointed that Congressman Broun chose to put
party above principle with his vote last night. I'm not a
doctor like my opponent is, but I do know the Hippocratic
Oath, and its charge to protect patients from harm.
“With his vote against children's health care, Congressman
Broun has broken that promise and, if he had his way,
hundreds of thousands of Georgia children, and their
families, would be harmed.
“I'm going to fight to keep America’s promise to our
children, because this is about more than just a healthcare
bill. Healthy children do better in school, they learn more,
and they succeed. That's in the best interest of America's
future as well as our workforce and economy. When I am
elected to Congress, I will always put the interests of our
families and children first.”
Bobby Saxon is an Iraq war veteran and small business owner
and he has served in Iraq, Afghanistan and commanded a unit
on a Homeland Security mission. Saxon also serves as Chair
of the Jackson County Democratic Party and is a member of
the Democratic Party of Georgia State Committee.
