DSCC Issues Statement on Passage of GOP’s ACA Repeal Deadline

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 -- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued the following statement by Press Secretary David Bergstein:

"Even though their deadline to pass a repeal of the Affordable Care Act with a simple majority has passed, Senate Republicans have made clear that they won't stop until they've further hiked premiums for millions of Americans, eliminated coverage for preexisting conditions, and charged seniors up to five times more for care, all so they can please their billionaire donors.

"Make no mistake: even in failure, Republican Senators and Senate candidates have made their priorities clear and will be held accountable."
