Tomorrow, the Senate will take up a Democratic motion to repeal the Trump administration’s effort to expand short-term insurance plans. Let me be very clear: these so-called “short-term” plans are junk insurance. #NoJunkPlans
These junk plans bait consumers in with low prices but hardly cover anything. They could not cover maternity care, or mental health care, or prescription drugs, you name it. #NoJunkPlans
Even worse, these plans draw consumers out of the health insurance marketplace, making it more expensive for everyone to purchase insurance, especially more expensive for those with a pre-existing condition. #NoJunkPlans
Ever since taking control of Congress and the presidency, Republicans have deliberately and relentlessly undermined Americans’ health care. #NoJunkPlans
As a result of Republican sabotage: premiums are up, out-of-pocket costs are up, prescription drug costs are up, and insurance is covering less. #NoJunkPlans
Under this Republican President and this Republican Congress, Americans are paying more to get less health insurance, and protections for pre-existing conditions are under assault. #NoJunkPlans
Tomorrow, the Senate will have an opportunity to undo a portion of the Republican campaign of health care sabotage. #NoJunkPlans
