Pennsylvania Democratic Party Issues Statement on Affordable Care Act

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, June 8 -- The Pennsylvania Democratic Party issued the following statement by spokesman Brandon Cwalina on the Affordable Care Act:

Last night, the Trump administration launched the latest Republican attack on protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

"Pennsylvanians can be confident that Donald Trump's lapdog Lou Barletta will throw his full support behind this attempt to end coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

"After all, Congressman Barletta frequently boasts that he ran for Senate to be the 'one vote' to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

"Democrats will make sure Pennsylvanians know exactly what the Trump-Barletta health care agenda will mean for middle class families: an end to coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, skyrocketing health care costs, and an age tax on older Americans."
