Before the Affordable Care Act, Americans suffering with cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease could be denied health insurance coverage due to a preexisting condition, a genetic predisposition millions of Americans are born into. But insurance companies can't do that anymore because it is against the law because of the Affordable Care Act. The Trump administration wants to take away that protection and has asked a Texas Court of Appeals to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act and preexisting conditions protections.

In my western New York community alone, nearly 300,000 people need the protection for preexisting conditions that the Affordable Care Act provides. Americans deserve quality healthcare insurance that is accessible and affordable. ____________________
