On Issues Important To West
Virginians
|
PROTECTING PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS
Joe
Manchin took the lead in the U.S. Senate to ensure that 800,000 West
Virginians with pre-existing medical conditions would not lose their
existing health insurance coverage. Joe won't stop fighting to protect
people with pre-existing conditions, and he won't let the big insurance
companies deny coverage to West Virginians. Joe is a true West
Virginian who will always do what's best far our state.

Patrick
Morrisey
chose
to
side
with
the
big insurance companies who have given
him thousands in campaign contributions instead of West Virginians with
pre-existing health conditions. Morrisey joined a lawsuit that would
allow insurance companies to deny coverage far the 800,000 West
Virginians who have pre-existing conditions like diabetes, high blood
pressure, asthma, or heart disease.

Roll Call

Morrisey had "no
reservations" about the suit.
.. that
would effectively end protections for people with pre-existing
conditions

COMBATING THE OPIOD EPIDEMIC
Joe
was successful in removing 1.1 billion highly addictive pills from the
market by rescheduling their classification, making it much more
difficult far immoral doctors and pharmacists to unnecessarily
prescribe and dispense these dangerous drugs to addicts. Joe has called
far giving law enforcement the tools they need to crack down on
suspicious pill shipments. But we must go further – Joe will push far
more funding far addiction prevention, treatment, law enforcement, and
holding drug companies accountable.
|
As
Attorney General, Patrick Morrisey took the side of the drug
manufacturers he once lobbied far when he chose not to hold them
accountable far flooding our communities with pills, making West
Virginia ground zero far the opioid epidemic that is destroying lives.
Drug distributors shipped over 200 million pills to West Virginia but
Morrisey settled with his former clients far just pennies on the
dallar. Joe's work has taken over 1 billion opioids off of the street.
Morrisey's work has only helped the opioid industry.

STANDING UP FOR SCHOOLS, EDUCATORS AND
STUDENTS
Joe
Manchin stood up far our educators and students during the teachers'
strike, when he encouraged the state legislature to stop playing
political games and agree to a bipartisan compromise that gave
educators a much deserved raise and got our children back into the
classroom.
|
Patrick
Morrisey
called
the
teachers'
strike
illegal,
and threatened to end the
strike by suing educators and forcing them back to work without a raise
or better benefits. Morrisey tried to throw striking teachers in jail.

Joe Manchin's a straight shooter, a true West
Virginian. Manchin is rated as one of the most centrist, independent
members of the United States Senate. He always tries to work with both
parties to get things done. He works with President Trump when he does
what's right for West Virginia, and he stands up to the President when
he's wrong. Joe's always been one of us, and he's always done what's
best for West Virginia.
Joe's Top Priorities:
■ Creating good-paying
jobs
■ Keeping our promises
to our veterans
■ Establishing skills
training centers
■ Preserving Medicare
and Social Security
■ Ending the opioid
epidemic
■ Securing the pensions
