RPOF Slams Charlie Crist and Wasserman Schultz on Obamacare

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) ripped into former Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday, insisting he was following advice offered by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, of defending President Barack Obamas federal health-care law. After spending most of his political career as a Republican, Crist left the GOP to run for the U.S. Senate with no party affiliation in 2010 and joined the Democrats in 2012. Crist is now running for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

"Charlie Crist and Washington Democrats like Debbie Wasserman Schultz are truly out of touch with Floridians if they think that Obamacare can be used to gain political advantage, Lenny Curry, the chairman of the RPOF, said on Tuesday. Floridians are experiencing the pain of losing their health insurance plans, losing the doctors they like and seeing their costs go up. We can't afford Obamacare and Floridians can't afford Charlie Crist and his Democratic buddies in Washington."
