What is Bob Harvie's position on Fitzpatrick's healthcare record?
Bob Harvie argues that Fitzpatrick's healthcare record does not hold up to scrutiny. Fitzpatrick voted to advance the "One Big Beautiful Bill" in its earlier version, skipped a vote on an amendment to make ACA tax credits permanent, and did not sign a discharge petition in the fall before health insurance premiums rose in January. Fitzpatrick ultimately voted against the final Senate-amended version of the budget bill, but Harvie is direct: "People are already feeling the pain of this. Their premiums have already gone up." He views Fitzpatrick's late positioning on healthcare as an attempt to take credit after the damage was done.
