It’s the 12th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act being signed into law – it’s still under threat by Republicans.
Republican leadership in the House have tried in vain to repeal the ACA and have made repeal a priority if they win back control of Congress.
This would have a devastating impact in New Jersey:
-
595,000 people in New Jersey would lose coverage
-
3.8 million people in New Jersey with preexisting conditions could face higher premiums, face benefit exclusions, or be denied coverage altogether
-
New Jersey would lose $2.7 billion in federal funding for health coverage because the ruling would eliminate ACA funding for the marketplaces, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program.
-
The tax revenue that funds the ACA’s expansion of health coverage would go back into the pockets of the wealthy, with millionaires receiving tax cuts averaging $46,000 each.
James Singer DCCC Spokesperson
“Republicans have made clear what their plan is for Americans’ health care, take it away.”
