“Congresswoman Mimi Walters’s record fighting to allow insurance companies to deny those with pre-existing conditions health coverage – and now lying about it – is clear. Quite simply, that dog won’t hunt,” – DCCC spokesperson Drew Godinich
RHETORIC: Rep. Mimi Walters, in a statement, says she’s been ‘clear and unwavering in my strong support of ensuring those with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied health insurance coverage … I will continue to advocate for legislation to guarantee that our health care system protects and covers those with pre-existing conditions.’
REALITY: She voted dozens of times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would’ve eliminated protections for those with pre-existing conditions, and said she was ‘honored’ to pass the AHCA, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and Politifact confirmed would weaken protections for those with pre-existing conditions, including making health insurance unaffordable and jack up premiums.
