Ernst and Trump are united on health care

Be careful who you vote for this November! The Trump administration has announced an all-out blitz to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, but they have nothing with which to replace it. The fate of the ACA may be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. If President Donald Trump gets his way, over 20 million Americans will lose their health insurance. Considering that we are in the middle of a pandemic, our most vulnerable citizens need health insurance more than ever.
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst is in lockstep with Donald Trump and his political agenda. She takes corporate PAC money from the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies. Ernst recently stated that Trump is stepping forward in controlling COVID-19.
Sen. Ernst must be living on another planet! She wants our economy to thrive - all of us would like to see that happen. However, before we can have a strong economy, we must first have a healthy society. Our very democracy may depend upon your vote this November!
