Over the last 12 years the Affordable Care Act has survived dozens of GOP efforts to kill it & has come out stronger than ever. More than 31 mn Americans benefit from ACA-related enrollment in health programs such as Medicaid or plans purchased thru the marketplace #ACAHeretoStay

When I served on the House Budget Committee, Paul Ryan had the same plan: Give tax cuts to corporate billionaires and then say we need to cut Medicaid and Medicare to pay for it. It’s no different in the Senate. Why are they doing this? Check their donor list.

Maryland needs @BenJealous as our leader in Annapolis to stand up to President Trump’s divisive, poisonous agenda every day—not just when it’s politically convenient. We have got to do everything in our power to make sure he wins November 6th. Knock on doors, donate, and vote!
