Ron Johnson: “I would support voting for full repeal in a heartbeat.”
MADISON, Wis. — Since Ron Johnson arrived in the Senate, he has made it his mission to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip away protections for Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions.
- By supporting repeal, Johnson would strip coverage from hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites who get coverage through the marketplace and remove protections from 883,000 Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions.
- Despite the harmful impacts repealing the Affordable Care Act would have for Wisconsinites, Johnson has doubled down and said he would repeal it “in a heartbeat.”
- When given the opportunity to stand up for Wisconsin families or leave them out to dry, Johnson was even a deciding vote to push forward legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, despite there not being a full replacement.
“Ron Johnson’s self-serving agenda includes ripping health care away from hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites and taking critical protections away from nearly 900,000 more,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin Senate Communications Advisor Philip Shulman said. “Johnson is failing to do his job as he endangers the wellbeing of those he is supposed to represent in Washington.”
