In no uncertain terms, Washington, D.C. insider and lobbyist John Douglass supports the President’s government takeover of health care that has lead to double-digit unemployment in the 5th District, while bankrupting our families and small businesses with higher health care costs, and a giant tax increase that the people of the 5th District rejected in 2010. This shows just how out of touch John Douglass is with 5th District Virginians. He would rather toe the party line and follow the Obama-Pelosi lead than listen to the people.
In 2010, Central and Southside Virginians sent Robert Hurt to Washington with a clear message: repeal the President’s health care law and replace it with commonsense, market-based solutions that will lower costs, stop the tax hike, and save the thousands of jobs threatened by this big government failed policy. 5th District Virginians rejected Obamacare in 2010 and they still reject it now.
WE DON’T WANT IT
The negative consequences of this law can be seen around the 5th District. It harms our convenience store owners, our care providers, our families, individuals, and our small businesses; the lifeblood of our economy and those who do not deserve the additional burdens that this over-reaching law has caused:
BECAUSE IT CRIPPLES THE ENTREPRENERUIAL SPIRIT AND REDUCES ACCESS TO CARE
A 5th District physician who has a small business that he built from the ground up, which serves and provides affordable quality care to over 16,000 patients in the area and employs over 30 people, is now in jeopardy due to the government takeover of health care. Due to the uncertainty caused by tax hikes and the costs of additional regulations, he is now unsure if he can continue to sustain his business. This means that over 16,000 in the area will lose their access to affordable, quality care, over 30 people will lose their jobs, and one man could lose his dream – his business that he has invested his time, resources, and care into so that he could serve others.
BECAUSE IT PREVENTS JOB CREATION AND DISCOURAGES EMPLOYERS FROM PROVIDING COVERAGE
A convenience store owner in Campbell County who has five stores and 48 employees has the desire and the resources to expand, but won’t for fear of the costs he would incur based on provisions in the President’s health care law. This man wants to build two more convenience stores and create new jobs in the 5th District, but he is unwilling to do so because of the mandates and taxes that will be imposed on his business as a part of the job-destroying government takeover of health care – they could put him out of business.
