Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), PA Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, Maine State Auditor Matthew Dunlap, Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti Headlined “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now” Bus Tour Events
In the first week of Protect Our Care’s “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now” nearly 8,000-mile bus tour, “Care Force One” made stops in five states, taking the fight directly to communities where families are hit hardest by rising health care costs and coverage losses. Across the country, hard-working families are fed up with the growing health care crisis after Trump and Republicans slashed more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and gutted Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. Every stop featured real stories of people impacted by Republican cuts to health care. Speakers called on lawmakers to enact commonsense health care solutions, including restoring tax credits to lower insurance premiums, reversing devastating Medicaid cuts, and passing policies to lower drug prices for everyone. Next week, the tour continues in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Ohio.
