Shaheen Supports Resolution Blocking Expansion of Junk Plans, Admonishes Lawsuit to Strike Down ACA

This afternoon, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) spoke on the Senate floor in support of a resolution that would block the Trump administration’s effort to undermine the Affordable Care Act through its expansion of junk health insurance plans that lack protections for people with pre-existing conditions and would increase costs for millions of Americans. Shaheen also admonished the administration for its continued support of a partisan lawsuit that seeks to strike down the health care law, which could strip up to 133 million Americans of protections for pre-existing conditions, leave millions more Americans without health insurance, increase prescription drug costs for seniors, and put nearly 90,000 Granite Staters at risk of losing health care coverage.
