WASHINGTON (CN) — U.S. Representative Jennifer McClellan joined advocates and nonprofits in calling on her Republican colleagues to protect access to health care Monday, which marked the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
“My Republican colleagues in Congress chose to make over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in order to pay for billionaire tax giveaways to Musk and Jeff Bezos,” the Virginia Democrat said during a press conference. “At a time when energy prices are skyrocketing because of Donald Trump’s war in Iran, grocery and housing prices are skyrocketing because of Trump’s tariffs and trade wars, too many people are having to choose which bills to pay and gambling that they won’t get sick or injured — but when they get sick and injured, they’re still going to show up at the hospital and the cost will go to the rest of us.”
