Mimi Walters’ Broken Promise on Pre-Existing Conditions

“We’re committed to protecting patients w/ pre-existing conditions to ensure their access to quality, affordable healthcare.” – Rep. Mimi Walters, January 27, 2017

That was then. Now, Mimi Walters is all in on the Republicans’ repeal and ripoff health care bill that would undermine protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

In addition to putting protections for pre-existing conditions at risk and allowing insurance companies to charge women more for the same health care, it would result in 24 million Americans losing their health insurance, impose an unfair age tax on older Americans, and raise premiums.

“This was a disastrous bill when it took health care away from 24 million Americans and now that it rips away protections for people with pre-existing conditions, it’s far worse,” said DCCC spokesman Tyler Law. “Mimi Walters recently promised her constituents that she would not remove these vital protections from people with asthma, diabetes and other diseases – but apparently her far-right agenda and blind loyalty to party bosses is more important than the well-being of California families. This broken promise is morally bankrupt, and she will be held accountable by the voters in her district.”
