Opinion: Shame on Elise, says Massena woman

To the Editor:

A press release from Elise Stefanik's office states she co-sponsored two pieces of legislation keeping drug prices down and increasing health care access for seniors, HR 2759 and HR 6101.

She didn't mention HR 2759 was introduced on April 22, 2021. That's it. It was introduced. That was the end of it. HR 6101 was introduced December 2, 2021 and guess what? That also didn't go anywhere.

If Elise truly wanted to help the people she represents, she would have voted in August 2022 for The Inflation Reduction Act. That bill offered so much for people who actually need it. It would lower prescription drug costs, health care costs, energy costs and tackle the climate. Elise couldn't wait to vote no for this bill.
