Democrat super PAC partners with local activists to protest health care age tax

By Gina Ender

About 40 protestors marched behind a moving billboard along the perimeter of the parking lot of Congressman Steve Knight’s (R-Palmdale) Santa Clarita office on Monday morning.

The billboard featured a picture of a birthday cake with candles marking a 50th birthday and read “For your birthday, Steve Knight got you a new age tax,” referencing the higher premiums for those over 50 through the proposed American Health Care Act, the bill Knight voted in favor of in May.

Through an effort by House Majority PAC, a political action committee that aims to get Democrats back as the majority in Congress, 25th Congressional District activists showed their support for the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Planned Parenthood.
