Senator John Hickenlooper, Representatives Judy Chu, Dina Titus, Jimmy Gomez, Yadira Caraveo, Brittany Pettersen, Attorney General Rob Bonta, The Honorable Lily Griego, State Senator Anna Caballero, Assemblywoman Natha Anderson Headlined “Lower Costs, Better Care” Bus Tour Events
On the fifth week of Protect Our Care’s nearly 12,000-mile “Lower Costs, Better Care” bus tour, “Care Force One” made stops in three states to make sure everyone understands how they continue to benefit from legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Affordable Care Act – while also making it clear the stakes for American health care have never been higher. During each stop, national and local elected officials, health care advocates, and storytellers are sounding the alarm about the threat Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans pose to American health care and celebrating the historic steps the Biden-Harris administration has taken to provide working families the quality, affordable care they need to stay healthy. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden-Harris administration and Democrats in Congress lowered premium costs, capped the monthly cost of insulin, and gave Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices. While we celebrate this progress, Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are fighting to go backwards, raise costs, take away protections for pre-existing conditions, and leave millions of people without critical coverage. MAGA Republicans want us to go back to the days when insurance companies made the rules and could deny people coverage. Next week, the tour continues in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Over six weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 17 states, make more than 50 stops, and travel nearly 12,000 miles.
