TOMORROW: 352,000 New Jerseyans Will Face Sticker Shock When They Shop for Their Health Care

November 1 marks the start date for ACA Open Enrollment

For six straight weeks, Congressman Tom Kean Jr. has refused to address the health care crisis he created.

As millions of Americans begin shopping for health care tomorrow during the start of open enrollment, New Jerseyans will log on and see higher health care premiums because Kean Jr. would rather be on vacation than working to find a bipartisan solution to their health care crisis.

Because Kean Jr. and Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, 352,000 New Jerseyans will face – on average – more than double the cost next year, forcing many to abandon their health coverage altogether. This is despite the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Congress extending the ACA tax credits.

Yesterday, the DCCC released a new digital ad in NJ-07 to hold Kean Jr. accountable for his refusal to take action and failure to lower costs.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Tom Kean Jr. is failing New Jerseyans. Open enrollment begins tomorrow, but Kean Jr. is on vacation and millions of Americans will face higher costs – or be forced to go without health care – because he wants to shut the government down. Kean Jr. will lose his seat next year because of this cruelty.”
