Garcia Plays Politics with Healthcare Benefits
For Immediate Release
June 2, 2008
Today Joe Garcia's Campaign reached a new low by playing politics with a
bill designed to assist low-income Americans who need prosthetics yet cannot
afford to pay for them.
"I find it sad, though not surprising, that my opponent would side with
insurance companies over children and Veterans who need prosthetics.
While he offers more distortions of my record, I will continue
fighting to ensure children and Veterans have access to the prosthetics they
need," said Diaz-Balart.
Diaz-Balart has consistently co-sponsored healthcare bills that expand
healthcare coverage without jeopardizing the quality of care Americans
receive. This Congress, he has cosponsored more than 30 healthcare bills in
addition to two GI Bills that do not bankrupt small businesses with massive
tax hikes.
Garcia's attacks come at a time when his campaign is under fire for failing
to disclose to the public the source of over $50,000 received by his
campaign, and just days before a deadline imposed by the Federal Election
Commission requiring him to address illegal contributions accepted by his
campaign during the last period.
