Statement on President Trump’s Undermining of Affordable Care Act

October 12, 2017

Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10), released the below statement following President Trump's signing of an executive order targeting portions of the Affordable Care Act:

"President Trump couldn't pass his health care bill through Congress, so now he's taking his frustration out on the American people by undermining the Affordable Care Act through executive order.

"This is playing politics with Americans' health care. The policies announced today have the potential to collapse the individual markets and raise costs across the country.

"Instead of sabotage, the President and Congress should be urgently considering proposals to stabilize and strengthen the individual markets, including the bipartisan framework put forward by myself and other members of both parties in the Problem Solvers Caucus."
