Received this e-mail today from former Rep. Betty Sutton’s (D. OH) gubernatorial campaign:
Trumpcare is back, and it’s worse than before.The GOP’s new healthcare replacement bill would eliminate crucial protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions, like cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes — conditions that affect more than a million Ohioans.And what’s worse, legislators would keep the protections in their own healthcare. Republicans don’t trust their own bill to take care of themselves and their families.I won’t stand for this. Add your name to stop this dangerous attack on our health care.Keeping insurance companies accountable is an issue I’ve advocated for at every stage of my career. In Congress, I helped pass an amendment to the Affordable Care Act that immediately prohibited insurance companies from discriminating against people based on pre-existing conditions. I knew we couldn’t wait until the ACA’s protections to kick in.We need a health care system that works for all Americans — not one that preys on the most vulnerable. Add your name here if you won’t stand for a plan that’s not even trusted by the people who created it.It is wrong to move forward on a bill that could deny coverage to those who need it most desperately. We’ve successfully blocked Trumpcare before — working together, we can stop this from moving forward, too.Betty
