Ward Signs CFG Pledge

Vaugh Ward became the first Idaho congressional candidate to sign the repeal it  pledge from Club for Growth, pledging to repeal Obamacare if passed:

“It’s absurd for President Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to suggest that the key to cutting health care costs is more spending, higher taxes, and expanding the federal government,” Ward said. “Nancy Pelosi’s government run health care plan is wrong for Idaho.”
 
Ward continued, “Walter Minnick has already voted for government run health care and believes that Medicaid and Medicare are doing a “pretty fair job”.  We do not need the same people that ran the Hurricane Katrina cleanup handling our health care.”
 
“Any solution that puts a government bureaucrat between a patient and their doctor is no solution at all.  Reforming healthcare and spending over a trillion dollars that we don’t have will permanently affect every family in Idaho.  My goal is to provide a health care system that allows access to affordable, quality health care for Americans, in a way that ensures medical decisions are made in doctor’s offices, not Washington D.C,” concluded Ward.

It’s a good move and a solid stance on the issue. However, after last night’s vote in Massachusetts, there may be no “it” to repeal if Ward gets to Washington.
