If you would rather write your own letter to the editor and not use our sample, here are several points to be sure you hit on:
Despite being settled law, Donald Trump is once again threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if elected to a second term.
The last time Trump tried to kill the Affordable Care Act, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office did a detailed analysis of Republicans' alternative and discovered that by 2026, the Republican plan would cause 32 million people to lose health insurance, and that premiums paid by individuals buying their own insurance would double.
Trump didn't have a real plan then and doesn't have a real plan now. Despite repeated assurances and promises from Trump before and during his 2016 election campaign to replace the Affordable Care Act with a superior health care plan, no such plan ever materialized. Over the years, he consistently pledged to unveil a comprehensive and cost-effective health care proposal, but each time, the promise remained unfulfilled. The situation reached a point of irony when, in July 2020, Trump claimed a "full and complete" plan would be ready within two weeks, only to repeatedly delay its release with vague assurances. Even in a "60 Minutes" interview in October 2020, he insisted that the health care plan was "fully developed" and would be revealed "very soon." Now, more than four years later, there’s no plan.
The Affordable Care Act has improved millions of lives and Trump's threats now should be a reminder of how much is at stake in the November election.
A vote for Trump is a vote to take away healthcare and pre-existing protections from tens of millions of Americans.
Every Republican running for Congress should be forced to go on the record on whether or not they would support Donald Trump's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
