Moorestown Patch Letter To The Editor: Connect The Dots On Trump's Fundraiser For MacArthur
Edwin Begg makes the connection between MacArthur's healthcare amendment and a fundraiser in Suffolk County this weekend.

To the Editor:
It’s not often that one is able to connect the dots on the actions of one’s Congressman. Approximately one month ago, Congressman Tom MacArthur resurrected a repeal of Obamacare by offering amendments to give a 217-214 win for Republicans and for President Trump.
According to the latest Congressional Budget Office’s estimate, 23 million people would lose healthcare by 2026. The CBO forecasts other harmful effects, but that gigantic healthcare loss is the takeaway headline.

To show his gratitude to Congressman MacArthur, President Trump will host a fundraiser for our Congressman this Sunday, June 11, at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, Suffolk County.
Suggested donations range from $5,400 to $100,000. Imagine how much healthcare could be purchased with the likely amount of money that will be raised.
