While Ann Wagner and other Missouri Republicans are tripping over themselves in their haste to wrap themselves in the Trump agenda on, well, everything, no matter the consequences to their constituents, Claire McCaskill has actually been working to solve problems and help her constituents.
Particularly, she would like for those in rural Missouri counties who may lose access to healthcare because of the Republican saboteurs have the opportunity to buy their healthcare coverage from the same exchange as Congress.
“Some of the insurance companies are threatening to pull out because, frankly, there has been no signal from this administration that they are willing to support these exchanges,” McCaskill said, referring to President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the uncertainty of future federal funding for the exchanges.
McCaskill’s bill would allow people in these counties to purchase insurance through the District of Columbia’s exchange, which is where many members of Congress and their staffs get their insurance. The D.C. exchange has national plans, so a person working in a congressman’s district office in Alabama, for example, can get insurance in that state, she said.
We’re working to hold Missouri Republicans accountable for their destructive votes and policy agendas and we need your help. We’re close to getting our first billboard up targeting Ann Wagner: secure.actblue.com/...
Rural Missourians are represented by congresspeople who rarely have to defend their positions, own up to horrible votes or get called out for their duplicity. Their vote on TrumpCare will have horrific effects on their voters and we want to let Missourians know exactly who is responsible.
