The Health Care Congress:
Cost, Coverage, Consumer Protections

Last year, we wrote that 2018 would be the year of health care and that Republicans would be held accountable for their relentless war on health care. In November, they were. The American people elected a Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time in over a decade and rejected the Republican health care repeal and sabotage agenda. Thirty four Republican members of Congress who voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) lost their seats or retired before voters had a chance to throw them out.

Voters sent a clear message. They want an end to the Republican war on health care and pre-existing conditions, and they want Congress to act to reduce costs, increase coverage and strengthen consumer protections.

With that in mind, the 116th Congress must be “The Health Care Congress.”
