IN HIS OWN WORDS: Zach Nunn Wants the Affordable Care Act “Gone” [Iowa Capital Dispatch]

Nunn: “I want the ACA gone as much as any of you”

Nunn’s commitment to repeal the Affordable Care Act comes as he has spent the entirety of the last year attacking Iowans’ health care:

• Nunn voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history and now, rural health care clinics – including MercyOne in Ottumwa – are closing their doors.
• Nunn put nearly 137,000 Iowans at risk of losing health care coverage and becoming uninsured.
• Nunn is to blame for the 25,000 people in IA-03 who will be forced to pay nearly double the cost on average for their health insurance premiums without these tax credits.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Zach Nunn said it himself: he wants the Affordable Care Act ‘gone.’ Slashing Medicaid funding, allowing premiums to skyrocket, and standing by as rural health care centers close on his watch wasn’t enough for Nunn: there is no doubt that he will vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip health care away from even more Iowans.”
