Does Melissa Gilbert want to expand Obamacare?

May 5, 2016

Now that Democrats are running to the left on health care thanks to the rise of socialist Bernie Sanders, what does MI-08 candidate Melissa Gilbert think?

Sanders won his primary against Hillary Clinton in MI-08, 56% to 41%. Since Gilbert’s Democratic base is feelin’ the Bern, will she join them in embracing an expansion of Obamacare?  Or will Gilbert turn her back on her Democratic base by standing with Hillary, who thinks Obamacare is working?

NRCC Comment: “Voters in Michigan’s 8th District deserve to know if Melissa Gilbert is embracing the health care policies of socialist Bernie Sanders or those of the incredibly unpopular Hillary Clinton. Does Melissa Gilbert agree with socialist Bernie Sanders that Obamacare needs to be expanded or does she agree with Hillary Clinton that Obamacare is working perfectly?” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
