This is a little new to me since we were District 20, far to the south, until the last election. However, I've heard about the Republican who's running against him and she sounds almost as objectionable as Michele Bachmann, is basing her campaign on undoing everything that the president has accomplished...

Real Health Care Solutions
Repeal Obamacare and replace it with common sense solutions to lower health care costs and improve quality and access
Families and small businesses in the North Country want health care that works for them and fits their specific needs. Instead, Obamacare has caused premiums to rise, coverage plans to be dropped, and small businesses to cut employees and reduce shifts and work hours. This is not the way to reform health care to improve quality and increase access. My familys business lost our health care plan as a result of Obamacare, and we are now forced to pay more for less coverage.
To lower costs and improve care, Elise believes we need to repeal Obamacare and replace with common sense solutions; including to allow Upstate families and businesses to shop for insurance across state lines; pursue real tort reform; fight the waste, fraud and abuse that costs our health care system billions each year; protect those with pre-existing conditions by funding state-level high-risk pools; and allow individuals and families to purchase insurance on the same tax-advantaged basis as businesses.
