Senator Hassan Statement on President Trump’s Effort to Create Trumpcare by Executive Order

WASHINGTON – Senator Maggie Hassan released the following statement today after President Trump signed an executive order to undermine the Affordable Care Act, continuing his efforts to sabotage health insurance markets and undermine critical protections for countless Granite Staters and Americans:

“When Republicans in Washington attempted to jam Trumpcare through Congress, Granite Staters and Americans spoke out and blocked the harmful bills from becoming law because they knew that they would lead to higher costs for worse coverage. Today, President Trump ignored those Americans and instead took steps to institute Trumpcare by executive order. In doing so, President Trump has doubled down on his efforts to sabotage health insurance markets and undermine critical protections for Granite Staters and Americans with pre-existing conditions, substance use disorders, and more. This is simply unacceptable. I will continue to fight back against any effort to destabilize our health care system, drive premiums up, and make care less affordable.”
