Statement “Late last night, President Trump, ignoring the will of the people and the wisdom of experts, announced he would end the Affordable Care Act’s cost-sharing subsidies, which will hurt millions of America’s families, damage our economy, and throw our health care system into chaos. This action will raise out-of-pocket costs, deny millions of people access to affordable insurance and risk the stability of the individual health insurance market.

Statement “President Trump is once again working to sabotage the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and playing politics with the health of America’s families.

Statement “Being able to determine how many children to have and when to have them is a key part of women’s freedom and economic prosperity. To undermine coverage for birth control for millions of women, as the rules released today do, is to do nothing short of undermining women’s freedom. Make no mistake, the Trump administration is actively closing doors for women and moms by eliminating coverage for birth control and through other actions. Ninety-nine percent of women use birth control, including the majority of moms.

Statement “Yesterday, California Governor Jerry Brown made his state safer and stronger by signing SB54, the California Values Act, into law. This bill will shield some Californians from some of the Trump administration’s heartless deportation policies, protecting families, improving public safety and strengthening the state’s communities and economy. We applaud Gov. Brown and the state legislature for standing up to ICE, and for supporting the diversity that helps make California strong, innovative and prosperous.

This critically important program has reduced the uninsured rate for kids in the U.S. to less than 5% over the past two decades.
