‘Elections have consequences: Democratic Socialists now call the shots’


When the Clintons took the White House in 1992, the Democrat party attempted to make healthcare a right for all Americans. At least then it would have covered only US citizens, not illegal aliens. Hillary Care would have been provided by the central government, replacing private health insurance with some form of Medicare for all.  

Thankfully, that deal went down in flames. Next in 2009, President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi prevailed in capturing about 15 percent of the private health insurance market with passage of the Affordable Care Act, also know as “Obamacare.” 

Now the new crop of Democratic Socialists are using the COVID-19 kerfuffle to bankrupt the healthcare sector of our economy. They dictate what services may be provided where and when — not to mention, terminating essential healthcare workers who refuse to comply with vaccines and boosters. I personally know a private hospital surgeon being paid to stay home because elective surgeries have been prohibited by Comrade Hochul.  

Once the system collapses, the federal government will step in with another multi-trillion dollar bailout. U.S. healthcare will become socialized under some new federal bureaucracy. Elections sure do have consequences. 

Since taking office after former governor Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace, Kathy Hochul has become Cuomo 2.0. But worse, she is pushing even more far left policies and mandates.  

One party rule is leading to an erosion of public safety, continued attacks on our personal freedoms and economic policies that are forcing hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave for red states. The Democratic Socialists are now calling the shots until they are removed.  

On Nov. 8, we need to elect Lee Zeldin as New York’s next governor.
