Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell’s (D. WA) re-election campaign:
All of our efforts to protect affordable healthcare won't matter if we let Donald Trump get away with his most insidious plan yet -- killing the Affordable Care Act through thousands of small cuts.
Through executive actions, Donald Trump has cut funding for enrollment programs, allowed companies to sell junk insurance, and is rolling back women's access to birth control. And now, he's announced that he will not be funding the law's subsidies that allow millions of low-income families to afford health insurance.
That's irresponsible and reprehensible. Donald Trump's attacks on the ACA will throw insurance markets into disarray, and threaten health insurance for millions of Americans.
Unable to get his own healthcare solutions passed through Congress, Trump wants to see the ACA go up in flames -- and isn't concerned about who will be hurt in the process.
I'm calling on Congress to stop Trump's attacks on the ACA, and to preserve funding for low-income Americans -- will you join me?
Tens of thousands of you have joined me in standing up to Republican attacks on the Affordable Care Act over the past year. And thanks to your support and voices, we've been able to preserve healthcare for millions.
But the Trump administration's newest strategy is underhanded. It's essentially ACA repeal without a public vote. And unless Congress acts, they'll throw our healthcare system into disarray.
I'm urging Congress to fund these crucial ACA payments -- and protect the healthcare of millions today. As the Trump administration threatens healthcare for our family, friends, and neighbors, we need to make our voices heard once more.
Add your name: Condemn Trump's attacks on our healthcare, and urge Congress to stand up for the Affordable Care Act today!
Thank you,
Maria Cantwell
U.S. Senator
