Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
DGA Statement on Senate Health Care Vote
Today, DGA Chair Gov. Dan Malloy (D-CT) and DGA Vice Chair Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) released the following joint statement on the proposed Senate vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act:
“The proposal for health care repeal without any alternative is simply a disaster for states,” said Malloy and Inslee. “It would wreck state budgets, hike premiums and kick even more people off of their insurance. It’s no wonder that senators and governors are both rejecting this failed plan.
“Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is already causing significant instability in states’ health insurance marketplaces. Congress should work with all governors to strengthen insurance markets and lower costs for consumers. And by now it should be clear: Medicaid cuts – which would cause massive harm to our citizens and our state budgets – are off the table. It’s time for President Trump and Congress to stop sabotaging our states’ health care systems, and to start working on real bipartisan solutions for American citizens.”
