WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) issued the following statement on the House passage of TrumpCare:

“Today, House Republicans wrote a prescription for disaster, endangering the health of millions of Americans for generations to come.  Now they must own up to their actions.

“TrumpCare means catastrophic increases in health costs, more than 24 million hard-working Americans losing health coverage, a crushing age tax, and stealing from Medicare. The bill hurts the elderly, the sick, and the poor, and rewards the young, the wealthy, and the healthy. The supposed ‘improvements’ did nothing but make TrumpCare worse and jeopardize the lives of more than 134 million Americans with pre-existing conditions.

“President Trump and the GOP promised ‘health care for everyone.’ Instead, they rammed through a bill that provides the exact opposite. All to gain a political win for a President less popular than ObamaCare itself.

“I urge my Senate colleagues to do what my House colleagues wouldn’t: Reject TrumpCare and work in a bipartisan manner to fix Obama Care. We must do all we can to give all Americans the health care they deserve.”
