Senate President Pro Tempore David B. McBride's statement on elimination of health insurance subsidies ​

DOVER - Senate President Pro Tempore David B. McBride, D-Hawks Nest, released the following statement on President Trump's decision to eliminate federal cost-sharing subsidies that working Delawareans and the middle class depend on for affordable health insurance:
 

"Americans deserve a health care debate focused on providing better outcomes, easier access to care, and more affordable coverage. Sadly, all they’re getting is a series of spiteful performances that harm their wellbeing and our economy. The ongoing effort to undermine the insurance marketplace, block the open enrollment period, and sabotage the Affordable Care Act may be a game in Washington, but in Delaware it’s personal. We know the families who are put at risk when their leaders gamble with their health and their lives. For their sake, and for our country’s, it’s time to end this cruel political theater and move on to a grown-up conversation on health care."
