AUSTIN – Texans For Greg Abbott today released a new ad, “Texas Republicans: Working For You On Healthcare,” featuring Representative Tom Oliverson, MD, who is running for re-election in House District 130. In the ad, Representative Oliverson, an anesthesiologist, highlights the healthcare victories achieved by Republican lawmakers during the 86th Legislative Session — including banning surprise medical bills, expanding women’s health care, and protecting patients with pre-existing conditions from losing access to health insurance.
The ad will air now through Election Day in support of targeted House races across the state.
TRANSCRIPT:
REPRESENTATIVE OLIVERSON: As a physician lawmaker, I can tell you there’s been a lot of false and misleading information on healthcare, so let me give you the facts. In 2019, Texas Republicans passed legislation to protect patients with pre-existing conditions from losing access to health insurance. And while we were at it, we banned surprise medical bills, expanded women’s health care through the Texas Healthy Women’s Program, and put a limit on future growth of prescription drug prices. So remember, on healthcare, Texas Republicans are working for you.
