VIDEO: Democrats Highlight How the GOP Repeal of the Affordable Care Act Will Make America Sick Again

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following video today highlighting several House Democrats speaking on the Floor last week. Members shared how the Affordable Care Act has benefited their constituents and how Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement will Make America Sick Again. See below for a video of Members who spoke on the Floor, including Reps. Gene Green (TX-29), Betty McCollum (MN-04), Cheri Bustos (IL-17), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Don McEachin (VA-04), Susan Davis (CA-53), Don Beyer (VA-08), Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30), Frank Pallone (NJ-06), Judy Chu (CA-27), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23), Suzan DelBene (WA-01), and Barbara Lee (CA-13).

"As Republicans move forward with their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act without offering a replacement, House Democrats will continue to highlight what is at stake for millions of Americans," said Whip Hoyer. "From kicking young people off of their parents' insurance to allowing insurance companies to discriminate against Americans with pre-existing conditions and by making women pay more for the same coverage, Republican repeal of the ACA has real consequences for Americans across the country. Democrats will continue to share constituent stories and highlight how Republican efforts to repeal the ACA without a replacement will Make America Sick Again."
