Two years ago today, Senate Republicans introduced a proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act’s coverage requirement as part of their corporate tax giveaway, laying the foundation for the toxic GOP lawsuit that threatens to end health protections Georgians rely on. Senator David Perdue voted for this tax giveaway, helping spark the dangerous lawsuit that could end critical health care protections including pre-existing conditions coverage, maternity care, and allowing kids to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26.
“Not only did Senator Perdue use his tax taw to undermine and attack health care protections and make the lawsuit in court today to eliminate pre-existing conditions coverage possible, but he unequivocally supports the lawsuit,” said DSCC spokesperson Stewart Boss. “Instead of working to protect his constituents’ care, Perdue is eager to see these attacks succeed, making it clear why Georgians can’t afford his reckless health care agenda.”
After proudly voting for the GOP tax giveaway, Senator Perdue said that “of course” he supports the toxic health care lawsuit it triggered — reminding Georgia voters that he’s not on their side when it comes to protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions, and revealing why Perdue and vulnerable Senate Republicans have resorted to pushing sham bills that “don’t actually protect sick people” and trying to hide the fallout from this harmful lawsuit until after next year’s election.
The DSCC has been “laser focused” on holding Senator Perdue accountable for his role in the GOP’s anti-health care lawsuit, running digital ads spotlighting his consistent failure to protect Georgians’ care.
