Care Force One Rolls into New Hampshire as it Travels Across 17+ States, Makes Over 50 Stops, and Covers Nearly 12,000 Miles
Watch All Bus Tour Stops Live Here.
New Hampshire — During week two of Protect Our Care’s “Lower Costs, Better Care” bus tour, Representative Chris Pappas (D-NH-01) and State Senator Rebecca Perkins Kwoka will join health care advocates and Protect Our Care for events in New Hampshire to make sure New Hampshirites 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 New York 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.
