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 South Carolinians rely on. Senator Lindsey Graham 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 Graham 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’s said he ‘will not give up’ until the health care law is torn down,” said DSCC spokesperson Stewart Boss. “Instead of working to protect his constituents’ care, Graham is eager to see these attacks succeed, making clear why South Carolinians can’t afford his reckless health care agenda.”
Senator Graham has said he “will not give up” on tearing down the health care law, including using his party’s toxic tax giveaway to trigger a reckless lawsuit that could gut health protections for South Carolinians. Instead of working to protect his constituents’ care, Graham 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 Graham accountable for his role in the GOP’s anti-health care lawsuit, running digital ads spotlighting his consistent failure to protect South Carolinians’ care.
