McMorris Rodgers takes contradictory positions

Is it window dressing, bait and switch, or kabuki theatre?  

Our representative for the 5th District in Congress, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, is sponsoring legislation to provide three more years of funding teaching health centers to draw medical students to complete residencies in isolated or underserved rural and urban hospitals. She has voted against Obamacare (ACA) more than 50 times and then voted for Trumpcare (AHCA) which will basically cut Medicaid to many rural residents so people will not be able to afford their medical services.

Yes they might have “access” to health care, but can’t afford their care. There might be doctors available, but people can’t afford to visit them.

How can anyone make sense out of her contradictory positions? We informed constituents can’t ask her, because she doesn’t hold town hall meetings, and her contact office number routes callers to a circular menu of options. Try email, or snail mail, and there is a form letter.

We need a representative who is accessible and maintains consistent positions that promote the welfare of all.
