Friends,
Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law nearly a decade ago, an estimated 20 million Americans have gained health insurance – including many for the first time in their lives.
But right now, the Trump administration is actively supporting a federal lawsuit that could end the ACA for good, get rid of protections for those with preexisting conditions and rob those 20 million Americans of their insurance – including nearly 1 million Michiganders.
I will fight any Republican attempt to dismantle the progress that’s been made. I stand on the side of Michigan families who would lose care if the Trump administration gets its way, and I hope you’ll stand alongside me by signing this petition that demands Congress protect affordable health care.
Under the old system, millions of Americans couldn’t afford a routine doctor’s visit. Millions more were discriminated with unaffordable rates or denied coverage altogether – simply for a preexisting health condition. Too many folks couldn’t access treatment for substance use disorders or mental health care.
Simply put, we can’t go back to those days.
I was proud to vote for health care reform during my time in the House, and I’ll fight to defend it in the Senate. But in the wake of the most extreme attacks yet from President Trump and the GOP, we need grassroots voices from across the country – including yours –to demand the ACA be protected.
Thank you,
Gary
