Hank Johnson: “President Trump's Department of Justice letter seeking the invalidation of the entire Affordable Care Act by the Fifth…”

“President Trump's Department of Justice letter seeking the invalidation of the entire Affordable Care Act by the Fifth Circuit is nothing short of self-sabotage. The Trump position in Texas v. United States would deny coverage for those with preexisting conditions, dismantle protections on out-of- pocket costs and the ban on annual and lifetime caps, and the return of the notorious donut hole for seniors on expensive medications would come forward again. I support this resolution. It is important that we band together to protect the Affordable Care Act and its protections against junk insurance policies. The American people deserve to know whether their Representative is going to fight for them and vote to condemn the DOJ's actions or if they will simply fall in line behind this President on his thoughtless and heartless mission to destroy access to the healthcare system for millions of Americans.”
