Donald Trump and Zach Nunn’s Extreme Agenda? Take Away Your Health Care

This weekend, Donald Trump loudly proclaimed his promise to rip health care away from millions of Iowans, saying Republicans ‘should never give up’ their goal of repealing Obamacare. Zach Nunn is already putting Trump’s plan into action – the Republican Study Committee, which Nunn is a member of, has put ACA programs on the chopping block.

Repealing the Affordable Care Act would:

  • End critical protections for at least 466,000 Iowans with pre-existing conditions, allowing insurance companies to deny them coverage.

  • Allow insurance companies to reinstate annual and lifetime spending limits on coverage.

  • Put 323,000 Iowans’ health insurance at risk.

  • Threaten coverage for 501,000 Iowans who rely on Medicaid.

  • Massively increase costs for seniors and people with disabilities who receive home care.

  • Cut access to substance abuse treatment and mental health care.

  • Force hundreds of rural hospitals to close.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Zach Nunn and House Republicans are all-in on Trump’s spectacularly unpopular plan to take health care away from Iowans, raising costs and threatening lives. His extremism and cruelty will cost them the majority next year.”
