Senator Cruz Still Supporting GOP Effort To Make Pre-Existing Coverage Unconstitutional

It’s been more than a week since Republicans announced their latest, stunning effort to make coverage for pre-existing conditions unconstitutional and new reports confirm this decision could impactemployer-provided coverage, as well – impacting thousands more Texans in addition to the more than 11.5 million Texas individuals who have pre-existing conditions. Still, Senator Cruz is supporting the GOP’s health care agenda that jeopardizes coverage for pre-existing conditions.

“After a week spent refusing to stand up for Texans who want insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, it’s clear Senator Cruz is once again putting his own political self-interests ahead of his state,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein. “Cruz supported a plan in Congress that would jeopardize coverage for pre-existing conditions, spike premiums, and impose an age tax on older Americans – so it’s no surprise he is refusing to speak out against this new attempt to sabotage Texas residents’ health care.”
