Rubio Campaign Press Release - This Indiana Congressman and Heart Surgeon is Backing the Candidate Dismantling Obamacare

December 9, 2015

Citing Marco's success in battling the Obamacare bailout, Indiana conservative Representative Larry Bucshon is backing Marco.

Bucshon, a Newburgh Republican who's seeking a fourth term in 2016, said the 44-year-old Senator from Florida is the only candidate who's made progress in undermining the Affordable Care Act.

"I am proud to endorse him because he is a next-generation conservative who will repeal Obamacare and replace it with a 21st Century health care system," said Bucshon, a former heart surgeon. "Marco is the best candidate running to unite the party and inspire the nation, and I look forward to helping him win Indiana."

Bucshon, a heart surgeon, was elected in 2010 to represent Indiana's 8th District.
