Fourteen years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, House Republicans continue to follow Donald Trump’s dangerous calls to “terminate” coverage for nearly 40 million Americans.
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, 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.
Donald Trump and House Republicans cannot be trusted with Americans’ health care.
DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene:
“For 14 years, millions of Americans have had access to quality health care thanks to the Affordable Care Act. This incredible progress is something that we should be building upon. Instead, House Republicans are fixated on repealing this law, putting millions of Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions, at risk of being denied coverage on Donald Trump’s orders. Voters know who is fighting to ensure they continue to receive the quality health care they deserve, which is why they will help House Democrats retake the majority in November.” |
