Letter to the editor: Comparing Trump, Harris on health care
Share this post:
Chances are we all know or love someone who suffers from a chronic health condition. Losing insurance coverage for asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and more would have devastating health and financial consequences. Remember the 1980s and ’90s when insurance companies could deny coverage for chronic conditions? Many faced financial ruin while being unable to get the care they needed. We can’t go back to that.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) not only provides affordable health care for millions, it protects all of us from being denied health insurance for preexisting conditions, no matter what type of health insurance you have. During his first presidency, Donald Trump unsuccessfully tried to abolish the ACA. If elected, he plans to repeal the ACA and, and I believe he will slash Medicaid coverage for millions. Not only will this impact people’s health, but, will imperil our economy.
Kamala Harris vows to strengthen the ACA, protect preexisting condition coverage and lower prescription costs. Go to protectourcare.org to compare the Trump and Harris health plans.
This is a consequential election. Don’t let Trump eliminate coverage for preexisting health conditions. A vote for Harris is a vote to protect your health care coverage and quality of life.
