On Anniversary of Failed Trumpcare Repeal Bill, Dems Outline One Year of GOP Health Care Sabotage

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR), Senate Finance Committee Member Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and Senate HELP Committee Member Chris Murphy (D-CT) accompanied by Leslie Dach of Protect Our Care, Catherine Buxton, a Planned Parenthood patient, and Samantha and Josephine McGovern of the Little Lobbyists will hold a press conference ahead of the one year anniversary of the failure of the Senate Republican Trumpcare repeal bill to highlight the GOP’s politically-motivated efforts to sabotage the American health care system ever since. Thanks to the American people speaking out, Senate Republicans were unable to pass their radical Trumpcare bill, which would have removed important consumer protections for people with pre-existing conditions, left tens of millions uninsured, and raised health care costs on millions more. Senate Democrats will explain that after that defeat, Congressional Republicans and the Trump administration have continued their all-out assault on our current health care system, committing a series of acts aimed at weakening and threatening the American health care system, resulting in higher premiums and putting vital protections and health care rights on the judicial chopping block.
