On the 14th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Juan Ciscomani Continues Reckless Crusade To Wipe Away Health Care From Millions Of Americans

Fourteen years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Juan Ciscomani and House Republicans continue to follow Donald Trump's dangerous calls to "terminate " coverage for 348,055 Arizonans, including some of the 1,145,000 with pre-existing conditions who would likely be denied coverage without the ACA's protections.

Recent polling shows that nearly 60% of voters support the ACA. Half of all Americans want Congress to expand the ACA, not repeal or replace it.

Ciscomani is part of the Republican Study Committee which put out a plan to gut the ACA and privatize Medicare. Repealing the ACA could take away coverage from 40 million people enrolled through the open market and more than 50 million Americans with previously declinable pre-existing conditions.

Juan Ciscomani, Donald Trump, and House Republicans cannot be trusted with Americans' health care.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"For 14 years, millions of Americans have had access to quality health care thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Juan Ciscomani and House Republicans are fixated on repealing this law, putting hundreds of thousands of Arizonans, including those with pre-existing conditions, at risk of being denied coverage on Donald Trump's orders. Ciscomani's failure to stand up for Arizonans once again will cost him at the ballot box."
