Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Evan Lukaske issued the following statement in response to projected health care premium increases for 2018:
“President Trump’s brazen sabotage of the American health care system is leading to skyrocketing premiums and serious pain for hardworking families. To be clear, Representative Tenney owns this disaster along with the Administration, as she’s giving aid and comfort to President Trump’s sabotage. In fact, Tenney exacerbated the uncertainty, by failing to pass commonsense, bipartisan improvements to the Affordable Care Act, and now by failing to stand up to President Trump as he threatens our entire healthcare system. Ultimately, that’s why Tenney will be held accountable for these rate hikes in the midterms.”
