During a recent interview on The John Fredericks Show, Republican nominee for lieutenant governor John Reid dismissed concerns over 300,000 Virginians potentially losing health care because of Trump’s tax bill, stating that it is “not my immediate problem.”
“John Reid doesn’t think 300,000 Virginians losing access to health care is his ‘immediate problem.’ If you’re running to be lieutenant governor, the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of Virginians is your problem,” said DPVA Communications Director Kelsey Carolan. “Virginians deserve to know why Reid doesn’t care about their access to life-or-death health care.”
John Reid: “I don’t want to run out of time without bringing up the number one thing that I’m getting hit with on the campaign trail. It’s not my immediate problem, but the Democrats are certainly trying to make it that way, is that supposedly 300,000 Virginians will lose health care coverage…”
