William J. Kemble reports in The Daily Freeman an aide to Republican U.S. Rep.

Faso has already indicated he will vote for the American Health Care Act, or Trumpcare. Ulster County Executive Michael Hein organized the event and said, “There have been over 50 votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act over six years to do precisely that.
