Pat Toomey's E-Update [press_release] | 2013-12-06 | 2013 | 2013-12 | Republican | House | PA | Patrick Toomey | T000461 | toomey.senate.gov | legacy | Right There With You My Wife Couldn't Access Obamacare's Website Either Watch my interview on NBC 10 For months, frustrated families across Pennsylvania have told me they are losing their health care coverage because of Obamacare.

Fighting Prescription Drug Abuse Watch NBC10's coverage of efforts to stop easy pill shopping This week, State Representative Joe Hackett and I met to discuss ways of curbing prescription drug abuse. I am grateful the Delaware County Council and District Attorney Joe Whelan could join us to discuss solutions to this serious - and tragic - issue. Talking The Tough Issues With Philadelphia's Northeast Times I stopped by the offices of Philadelphia's Northeast Times for a conversation about the most significant issues facing our country today, including Iran, Obamacare, and the budget.
