WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) launched a new digital ad today holding Roy Cooper accountable for prioritizing taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens over rural hospital funding.
Republicans passed legislation that slashes waste, fraud, and abuse in America’s healthcare system while investing billions in rural hospitals – and Cooper wants to repeal it.
“Under Cooper, North Carolinians paid the highest healthcare costs in the nation while illegals got taxpayer-funded benefits. Now Cooper wants to make life more unaffordable by repealing the largest investment in North Carolina’s rural healthcare system in history,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
