Despite what @POTUS says, his administration is trying to rip away protections for those with #PreExistingConditions. New @OversightDems report shows how the Trump Administration's actions threaten millions of Californians. Read it here: https://bit.ly/2AgyOqi . #ProtectOurCare

This @OversightDems report shows, in alarming terms, that thousands of our constituents could lose health coverage and face exorbitant healthcare cost increases because of the Trump Admin's actions on #PreExistingConditions. RT and SHARE: https://bit.ly/2AgyOqi . #ProtectOurCare

Protecting the popular clauses in the ACA that protects Americans from insurance discrimination seems like a no-brainer. But, for Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration, their unending efforts to roll back health protections are as heartless as they are senseless.

Protections for those with pre-existing health conditions remains a high priority for our constituents and it’s shocking that the Trump Administration is unwilling to stand up for families facing costly medical bills because of the whims of insurance companies. #ProtectOurCare

The ACA prevents employer-sponsored health plans from excluding pre-existing health coverage. The Trump Admin’s decision not to defend this provision means 17,546,000 Californians with employer-sponsored insurance may be at risk of losing protections, including 382,000 in #CA33.

Thousands could lose health coverage and face exorbitant healthcare cost increases because the Trump Admin won’t defend every American’s right to affordable, quality coverage. In #CA33, 22,000 constituents with pre-existing health conditions are at risk of coverage denials.

As many as 856,000 older Californians may lose federal protections against coverage denials or premium increases as a result of the Trump Admin’s actions, including 34,000 in #CA33. Report shows 19,000 older adults in our district would bear the full cost of premium increases too

As a result of the Trump Administration’s actions, as many as 1,212,000 women in California who currently purchase coverage through the individual market may lose federal protections because of their gender. 26,000 women in #CA33 could bear the full cost of premium increases.

Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies can't charge women more based on gender. Right here in #CA33, 47,000 women are at risk of coverage denials or premium increases if President Trump and the GOP have their way and further undermine America’s health care system.

If President Trump and Republicans succeed in rolling back pre-existing condition protections, 50,000 #CA33 constituents with pre-existing health conditions are at risk of coverage loss or premium increases. #ProtectOurCare

In California, if the Trump Administration is successful in its attempts to roll back Affordable Care Act protections, as many as 1,321,000 people could lose federal protections against coverage denials or premium increases, including as many as 78,000 people in #CA33 alone.

Today’s 2.8% COLA increase is good news, but we need Social Security benefits to keep up w/ the rising costs that hit seniors hard – hospital bills, doctor visits, & prescription medicine.
