Russo, a Republican running against U.S. Rep. Jim Himes in the 4th District, said his very first task, if elected, would be to repeal the health care bill.
“Not only has Congress just spent a trillion dollars to harm our health care system, businesses and families, Congress failed to actually fix the problems the people had with our health care system–cost of insurance and access to our great health care,” Russo said in a statement.
“Even worse, this was done against the will of the people. Congressman Jim Himes, you refused to come back and meet with the citizens and host a town hall meeting–you didn’t want to tell them you had already decided. Congressman, you chose to side with Nancy Pelosi not the People and you will be held accountable for it. Families cannot afford the increased costs you have placed on them. Businesses cannot afford the tax hikes and increased premiums you have placed on them. And, doctors cannot afford to practice with the limits you have placed on them.”
