With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
DGA Statement on New Republican Health Care Bill
Connecticut Governor and DGA Chair Dan Malloy and Washington Governor and DGA Vice Chair/Chair-elect Jay Inlsee released the following joint statement on the amendments to the Republican health care bill:
“This new proposal is nothing more than the reheated leftovers of the failed TrumpCare bill,” said Malloy and Inslee. “Just like last month’s bill, this one would slash Medicaid funding, throw millions out of health coverage and leave states holding the bag.
“The only fresh idea in this proposal is a new way to raise insurance rates on sick people. States are happy to work with the federal government on strengthening health care, but we never asked for the flexibility to jack up premiums on people with pre-existing conditions. Congress should again reject this disastrous proposal that would wreck state budgets and cut millions off of health care coverage.”
