Press Release

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Health and Health Care

"My Republican colleagues in the House have made what is another hopefully futile effort to sabotage the Affordable Care Act. These junk insurance plans may provide lower costs for some individuals but they do so by cherry-picking healthy and low-risk individuals and pushing costs to older and sicker Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions. When you allow these groups to form their own insurance pool, simple arithmetic dictates that everyone else will pay more."
