14 years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Mike Garcia, Ken Calvert, and House Republicans continue to follow Donald Trump’s dangerous calls to “terminate” coverage for 1,736,391 Californians, including some of the 6,093,000 with pre-existing conditions who would likely be denied coverage without the ACA’s protections.
Recent polling shows that nearly 60% of voters support the ACA. Half of all Americans want Congress to expand the ACA, not repeal or replace it.
The majority of the House Republican conference, via their continued support of the Republican Study Committee — which Garcia is a member of —, support a plan to gut the ACA and privatize Medicare. Repealing the ACA could take away coverage from 40 million people enrolled through the open market and more than 50 million Americans with previously declinable pre-existing conditions.
Mike Garcia, Ken Calvert, Donald Trump, and House Republicans cannot be trusted with Americans’ health care.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“For 14 years, millions of Americans have had access to quality health care thanks to the Affordable Care Act. But Mike Garcia, Ken Calvert, and House Republicans are fixated on repealing this law, putting millions of Californians with pre-existing conditions at risk of being denied coverage on Donald Trump’s orders. Garcia and Calvert’s failure to stand up for the care that Californians need and deserve will cost them at the ballot box.”
