Hastings weighs in on health care
Doc Hastings
MOSES LAKE - After U.S. Rep. Richard "Doc" Hastings, R-Pasco, visited Grant County on Monday, he certainly made his view of last week's Supreme Court decision on health care clear.
"I was disappointed in the decision because I felt that Obamacare was unconstitutional in a variety of ways," he said. "I voted to repeal Obamacare, and next week when I go back, I'll vote again to repeal it."
Hastings toured facilities in Moses Lake and Othello, during the congressional Fourth of July break.
"The issue of government-run health care is in the hands of the people. That's why we have elections," he said. "And I think that this election will be a referendum on not only President Obama, but a referendum on whether we should have government-run health care."
