Health Care is First Up on the Chopping Block Under MAGA Republicans
Washington D.C. — Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed the MAGA agenda for health care: repeal the Affordable Care Act, destroy protections for more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, rip coverage away from more than 40 million Americans, and raise costs across the board. Repealing the ACA means imposing an “age tax” on older Americans and throwing young adults off their parents’ plans. After months of lies from the campaign about Trump’s health care record, the truth comes out. In response, Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach issued the following statement:
“Speaker Mike Johnson finally told the truth about Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies’ agenda for health care in their first 100 days. They want to repeal the ACA and rip away health care from millions of Americans, destroy protections for more than 100 million with pre-existing conditions, and raise costs for the middle class. A second Trump presidency would be devastating for millions of people with conditions like asthma, cancer, and diabetes. The bottom line is that the ACA faces the same, if not greater, threat than it did in 2016, and this election will make all the difference for the health and well-being of the American people.”
