This week marks the one year anniversary of our vote in the Senate against Republican health care repeal legislation. I voted against repeal because Wisconsin did not send me to Washington to take away people's health care.

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.

The Trump Administration slashed funding to states for outreach efforts that help more people sign up for health care. This will mean fewer people in rural #WI will receive the support they need to obtain affordable coverage.

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.

No American should lay awake at night wondering if the health care they have today will be there tomorrow.

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