Ever since then, @POTUS has been trying to do what Congressional Republicans couldn’t: Sabotage our health system by undermining guaranteed health protections and access to affordable care. That’s not right.

President Trump is threatening guaranteed and affordable health care coverage for the more than 133 million Americans – and over 2 million Wisconsinites – with pre-existing conditions.

I was branded as a child with the words, ‘pre-existing condition,’ so I am going to continue fighting to make sure that no family has to choose between helping their child get better or going bankrupt.

That is why I will continue my work to protect it.
