Maloney is the U.S. Congressional rep from New York's 18th District in the lower Hudson Valley, serving Orange and parts of Westchester County. He: Opposes Single-Payer/Medicare for all. While he pays lip service to single payer being a great solution, he can't bring himself to co-sponsor bill 676 by Rep. Conyers to bring about a single payer/Medicare for All solution. Is it the fact that Rep. Maloney takes large campaing contributions from Insurance and Big Pharma lobbies that prevent him from doing so?

Maloney Supports the Israel Anti-Boycott bill, undermining American's freedom of speech. Americans could go to jail and or be fined for deciding not to do business with Israeli companies as a result of exercising Constitutionally protected speech in their consumer and business decisions. For example, this law Maloney supports would put you in jail if you decided to buy tomatoes from Canada instead of tomatoes from Israel you suspect were from illegal settlements because you don't want to support their illegal occupation of Palestine.
