MIKE’S CLEAR OPPOSITION TO MAKING HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE, LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS, AND PROTECTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE

Lawler took thousands from the insurance industry and opposed lowering health care premiums, voted against coverage for mental health care, and opposed capping the cost of the lifesaving drug insulin. If Lawler had his way, insurance companies would be able to deny people health care if they have pre-existing conditions like cancer and diabetes.

Lawler voted 19 times against protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits for people who spent a lifetime paying into the system. He opposed lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and protections for nursing home residents, and threatened to make it harder for New Yorkers to get the pensions they were promised.
