“Whether it’s Trumpcare or repealing the ACA without a replacement, GOP Senators and Senate hopefuls are stuck with their cruel plan to take away health care from millions—like gum stuck to a shoe,” said American Bridge spokesperson Joshua Karp. “Despite Trumpcare’s collapse, GOP leaders around the country have already supported Trumpcare, helped write Trumpcare, and championed numerous disastrous ACA repeal bills that all rip away coverage from Americans who desperately need it, and they’ll have to answer for that next November.”
Let’s play the tape…
- Rep. Evan Jenkins voted for AHCA in the House, and has repeatedly voted for ACA repeals.

- Rep. Mike Kelly voted for ACHA in the House, and has repeatedly voted for ACA repeals.
- Sen. Dean Heller has voted 20 times to repeal or undermine ACA, helped write Trumpcare in secret, and said he’d do everything he could to “get to yes” on the Trumpcare bill.
- Sen. Jeff Flake supported the ACHA bill and the Cruz amendment which made the bill even worse and especially jeopardized people with pre-existing conditions. He also voted to repeal or undermine ACA 20 times.
- Gov. Rick Scott worked “closely” with Washington Republicans to craft Trumpcare legislation with Republicans in Washington
- Auditor Matt Rosendale said AHCA is “a good first step” but wanted to make it even more extreme.
