Fourteen years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans continue to follow Donald Trump’s dangerous calls to “terminate” coverage for 370,057 New Jerseyans, including some of the 1,359,000 with pre-existing conditions who would likely be denied coverage without the ACA’s protections.
Recent polling shows that nearly 60% of voters support the ACA. Half of all Americans want Congress to expand the ACA, not repeal or replace it.
The majority of the House Republican conference, via their continued support of the Republican Study Committee, support a plan to gut the ACA and privatize Medicare. Repealing the ACA could take away coverage from 40 million people enrolled through the open market and more than 50 million Americans with previously declinable pre-existing conditions.
Tom Kean Jr., Donald Trump, and House Republicans cannot be trusted with Americans’ health care.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“For 14 years, millions of Americans have had access to quality health care thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans are fixated on repealing this law, putting hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans, including those with pre-existing conditions, at risk of being denied coverage on Donald Trump’s orders. Kean Jr.’s failure to stand up for New Jerseyans once again will cost him at the ballot box.”
