Washington, PA – TONIGHT, May 10, 2012, Keystone Progress will commemorate Rep. Tim Murphy’s voting record with a personal baseball card highlighting his “stats” at the Washington Wild Things opening game in Washington, PA.
“Tim Murphy is an ace for the insurance lobby,” said Keystone Progress Executive Director Michael Morrill. “He voted against the Affordable Care Act, which requires insurance companies to provide clear information on health benefits, awards tax credits to small businesses to provide health insurance for employees, and prohibits health plans from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.”
“Murphy is throwing a curveball to Washington residents, who would benefit from the Affordable Care Act through added consumer protections from insurance company abuses," added Morrill.
WHO: Keystone Progress
WHAT: Baseball card commemorating Rep. Tim Murphy
WHEN: May 10 at 6 PM until 7 PM
WHERE: Outside of Consol Energy Park, Washington, PA
