Care Force One Rolls into North Carolina as it Travels Across 17+ States, Makes Over 50 Stops, and Covers Nearly 12,000 Miles

Watch All Bus Tour Stops Live Here.

North Carolina — During week three of Protect Our Care’s “Lower Costs, Better Care” bus tour, U.S Representative Alma Adams (D-NC-12) and State Senator Natalie Murdock will join health care advocates and Protect Our Care for events in North Carolina to make sure North Carolinians understand how the Biden-Harris administration and Democrats in Congress worked to lower health care costs for Americans. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, they provided relief to those who purchase insurance on their own, 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.

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. Later this week, the tour continues in Georgia. Over six weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 17 states, make more than 50 stops, and travel nearly 12,000 miles.

U.S. Representatives Susan Wild, Pat Ryan, Chris Pappas, Paul Tonko, and Matt Cartwright, State Sen. Rebecca Perkins Kwoka, Assembly Member Michaelle Solages Headlined “Lower Costs, Better Care” Bus Tour Events

On the second 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 sounded the alarm about the threat Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans pose to American health care. MAGA Republicans want us to go back to the days when insurance companies made the rules and could deny people coverage. As Republicans fight to raise costs on working families, deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, and repeal the Inflation Reduction Act and Affordable Care Act, the Biden-Harris administration continues to improve access to quality and affordable health care. Next week, the tour continues in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Over six weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 17 states, make more than 50 stops, and travel nearly 12,000 miles.

Watch the Full Event Here. 

Washington D.C. — Today, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), health care storytellers and advocates Reggie Hubbard and Elena Hung joined Protect Our Care for a virtual event to discuss the tremendous progress that we’ve made to lower health care costs and improve care for the American people as well as the fight ahead of us to protect our health care as MAGA Republicans continue to escalate their attacks. If Donald Trump wins, health care is on the chopping block. He has already tried and failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act and now he is threatening to do it again. If Trump gets his way, 45 million people could lose coverage, and lifesaving protections would be ripped away from more than 100 million people with pre-existing conditions.

In every election since 2018, voters have gone to the polls prioritizing better health care and lower costs – this year is no different. Health care is core to this election cycle from Vice President Harris reminding voters about the accomplishments made over the last four years to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance repeatedly attacking the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its protections for more than 100 million people with pre-existing conditions. 

“If you go to kitchen tables of the American people, the list of their worries goes on – the cost of health care, the cost of prescription drugs – all things that are part of the Democratic agenda but not the Republican agenda,” said Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.  “The former president said ‘Obamacare sucks,’ but it doesn’t suck – it cures – and Democrats will do everything possible to expand the Affordable Care Act and cure many more people.  Make no mistake: this is the most important election of our lifetime – and it’s a health care election.  Onward to victory for a healthier America!”

“I’m here because of health care and I’m here because of my amazing daughter, Xiomara, who is the joy of my life,” said Executive Director and Co-Founder of Little Lobbyists Elena Hung. “Kids like my daughter are alive today and have a chance at childhood because the ACA banned lifetime limits on their care and insurance companies can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing issues. Xiomara has been able to thrive because of the care that she and my family have received, because of the care that my family has been able to receive. We have to defend the ACA because the ACA saves lives.”

“On April 1, fresh off the celebration of the ACA anniversary, I became a member of the stroke survivor club,” said Save Our Health Care Campaign Director for Team Pelosi Reggie Hubbard. “In that moment, I went from activist and advocate to a patient with a pre-existing condition. The Affordable Care Act changed immediately from a policy that I passionately advocated for to a vital lifeline that not only gave me access to health care, but a path to navigate my stroke and my recovery in the aftermath. It didn’t just save my life, but it protected me from financial ruin when the unthinkable became my norm.”

“The Affordable Care Act and the lower drug provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act have finally given Americans a safe place to land so that they know they can get the health care they need,” said Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach. “Americans across the nation are seeing lower health care costs thanks to the Biden-Harris administration. We all know that when one of us gets sick, it dominates our lives, especially if you can’t afford to go to the doctor or get prescriptions. But Democrats stood up to big drug companies and won, and now seniors are saving on their prescription drug costs. People across the country finally have more breathing room, and Democrats are fighting to build on this progress so everyone has the health care they need.” 

“Donald Trump and JD Vance have made it abundantly clear that they want to turn back the clock on all the progress we have made under the Biden-Harris administration,” said Protect Our Care Executive Brad Woodhouse. “From ripping away protections for pre-existing conditions to gutting the Affordable Care Act, they are intent on leaving middle-class Americans in the dust in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires and put drug companies back in charge. The MAGA agenda is an existential threat to our health care and a second Trump term would be disastrous for millions of hardworking people across the nation.”

“Time and time again, voters have gone to the polls with health care as a forefront issue,” said Protect Our Care Communications Director Anne Shoup. “This year is no different as voters will once again determine the future of American health care. It is a kitchen table issue, and the Democratic message on health care receives strong support from a majority of voters, no matter who they are or where they live.”

The Biden-Harris Administration’s Accomplishments vs. the MAGA Republican Agenda

Later tonight, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance will take the stage at the Vice Presidential debate of the 2024 election in New York City.

From day one, the Biden-Harris administration has fought tooth and nail to lower costs and make affordable health care a reality for seniors and families across the nation. Vice President Harris has fought to expand affordable coverage, lower prescription drug costs, strengthen Medicaid for moms and kids, and reduce inequities in care. On the other hand, Donald Trump and JD Vance have vowed to repeal the ACA and Inflation Reduction Act, slash Medicaid and Medicare funding, take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and raise prescription drug and premium costs. Under the MAGA agenda, millions of Americans will lose coverage and costs will skyrocket. The contrast could not be more clear:
