KAVANAUGH COULD END HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS ABORTION RIGHTS

“Nominating Kavanaugh was another move to take away millions of Americans’ health care coverage.”  –Sen. Ron Wyden 

Trump has tried over and over to end the ACA and Kavanaugh has argued that a President can decline to enforce a statue even if a court upholds its constitutionality. 

  • A case seeking to declare preexisting conditions protection unconstitutional and end the prohibition against charging higher rates for sicker people may come before the Supreme Court. In an act of sabotage, Trump’s Justice Department joined the 20 states suing the government.
  • Another case seeks to stop states from imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients—a policy the administration encourages states to adopt. 

Regarding abortion, Kavanaugh believes that the courts wrongly decided Roe v. Wade. Case closed. 

Our Senators are on the forefront of opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination. They need our calls of support. Even more, we need to: 

  • encourage voters in red states to tell their Senators to vote no. 
  • donate and volunteer in mid-term elections for a Senate that won’t confirm judges who will gut healthcare and end women’s rights over her own body. 
ACTION ONE: CALL YOUR SENATORS
