Luria Votes to Condemn Administration’s Attempted Health Care Sabotage

April 7, 2019 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Elaine Luria (VA-02) this week voted to condemn the administration’s attempted health care sabotage, calling on the Department of Justice to reverse its position in a lawsuit that would nullify the entire Affordable Care Act.

“This is an unacceptable raid on health care in America, and I won’t stand for it,” Congresswoman Luria said. “More than 500,000 Virginians, including beneficiaries of our historic Medicaid expansion, are covered through the Affordable Care Act. Let’s work to protect people’s care, not take it away.”

In addition to those 500,000-plus Virginians, many more rely on protections for those with pre-existing conditions.

One of Congresswoman Luria’s first votes allowed the House of Representatives to throw its full legal weight against the Texas v. U.S. lawsuit that would destroy Virginia’s historic Medicaid expansion, the ban on lifetime and annual limits on coverage, the tax subsidies that make health insurance affordable for millions of Americans, the cap on out-of-pocket costs, and more.

Today’s bipartisan resolution reinforces those points and calls on the Department of Justice to abandon its efforts to destroy Americans’ access to affordable health care and reverse its position in Texas v. U.S.

Congresswoman Luria will continue to work to lower health care costs, expand access to health care, and protect people with pre-existing conditions.

    Until this press release from Ms. Luria, I have supported almost everything I hear coming from her office. This is pure partisan politics in a bid for votes from the poor.
    When the Court comes out and says that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, how can she support continuing to push it forward anyway ? Our lawmakers are supposed to support the law, right ? It’s a ridiculous press release, and not professional from her office.
    “The Affordable Care Act” is not so affordable to many, many people. It was shoved down the throats of Congress who were told “trust us” it’s a good idea. When Congressmen complained it was too big and couldn’t be read before the vote, their trust was abused. We were told we could keep our Drs. The bill was full of lie after lie. No one’s medical bill went down. Deductibles went sky high. Frankly, so many misdirections in it’s cover story that it was probably prepared by The Clinton Foundation as a prep for their other work on Trump’s false dossier.
    Fighting the inevitable is a waste of time. The Court has declared it unconstitutional so it’s going, and we need an alternative. Dems love to lie and say Trump wants to eliminate pre existing condition coverage, and it’s a lie. It’s fear mongering. Trump has always said he wants to fix all this right, and will cover pre existing. This President has worked quite hard and sent so many fixes in the right direction, it’s amazing. The democrats, who can’t solve problems, throw words out there contrary to Trump’s ideas and fixes, just to deter those solutions.
    PLEASE WAKE UP ON THIS ONE MS. Luria. Find a way to work for a solution instead of just throwing out a contrary press releases please. You are better than this, and we deserve better. ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS deserve very good health care.
    Why are there “pools” ? Why isn’t there just ONE POOL of Americans ? Why don’t all citizens have the same plan, and I’m talking about our lawmakers being a part of that same pool ? Why do they get super special coverage and we get different ? Those swampers are “more American” than us ?
