Received this e-mail today from Governor Tom Wolf’s (D. PA) re-election campaign:
Politicians in D.C. lived down to expectations, and failed to prevent a completely preventable catastrophe.
President Trump unilaterally announced that he would cut the cost-sharing program established under the Affordable Care Act. As a result, more than 400,000 Pennsylvanians will likely lose the lifeline that allowed them to purchase health insurance, and millions more will see their premiums rise by 30 percent. Worse, Trump's actions will result in seniors being kicked out of nursing homes and people with pre-existing conditions losing protections.
Let me make this clear: the President of the United States is sabotaging a federal law that helped millions of Americans get covered just to settle a score for failing to pass repeals.
But I have your back and I'm going to do everything in my power to protect our healthcare. Help me send this message to Congress: stand up to President Trump and pass a permanent fix to the subsidies.
Since I took office, I've been working hard to make sure we get more people covered. One of my first acts was signing Medicaid expansion, which has provided access to quality, affordable healthcare to 715,000 Pennsylvanians.
There's no time for the political games that Republicans in Washington are playing while lives are on the line.
Millions of low-income Americans could lose their health insurance next year, but there's still time to act. Get your name on this petition and show extreme politicians that you want action now.
Thanks,
Tom Wolf
