In a statement released by the campaign Wednesday, Renacci accused Senator Brown of the following accusations, in which he alluded to Senator Brown “wanting to take away your health insurance.” The statement went on to say that Senator Brown wanted to establish a government-funded health care system similar to Medicare.
