“From his very first day in office, President Trump has worked to sabotage and repeal the Affordable Care Act. Despite being unable to pass a repeal bill, President Trump hasn't stopped working to make it harder for people with preexisting conditions to afford coverage. Last week, HHS announced that it will allow the sale of short-term junk insurance plans that don't provide essential coverage and exclude people with preexisting conditions. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions argues that such protections are unconstitutional. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to understand why the President, who promised wonderful healthcare for all, is so committed to attacking the most popular parts of the Affordable Care Act. Constance, a constituent from my district, wrote, back during the repeal debate, that: ``The ACA saved my life, as I would not be able to afford my healthcare without it.'' Mr. Speaker, we in Congress need to be doing more to protect people like Constance and all of those who have been diagnosed with a preexisting condition. We need to be doing more, not less ____________________”
