When given the opportunity to restore $712B in cuts to Medicare, Matt Cartwright voted NO. ⁽¹⁾

Even the Washington Post agrees that Beltway Democrats raided your Medicare to pay for the so-called Affordable Care Act. This citation was used in our commercial sourcing Matt Cartwright's support of the Medicare cuts in Obamacare. Though Cartwright was not in office at the time of Obamacare's original vote, he has a history of voting against any proposal to remedy those cuts.⁽²⁾

In fact, Matt Cartwright’s record on fixing the Affordable Care Act is even worse than can be imagined.

A closer look at Matt Cartwright’s voting record shows:

❌ Voted NO to allow you to keep your doctor and health insurance ⁽³⁾

❌ Voted NO to repeal the IRS Tax on people who can’t afford insurance in the first place. ⁽⁴⁾

❌ Voted NO to repeal the Obamacare death panels. ⁽⁵⁾

❌ Voted NO to repeal the tax on medical equipment. ⁽⁶⁾

❌ Vote NO to make the work week 40 hours, killing thousands of jobs. ⁽⁷⁾

John Chrin’s promise to you is to never cut benefits for current Medicare beneficiaries.  

A promise made is a promise kept.

John Chrin will protect Medicare and keep the patients protections of the Affordable Care Act, including covering pre-existing conditions and allowing children to stay on their parents’ health insurance until they reach 26 years old.
