James has made clear he’d fall in line with Senate Republicans who “still see no need to act on health care”
Nearly 1.5 million Michiganders, including over 57,000 in the last week, have filed for unemployment due to the Coronavirus pandemic. But as workers are “double hit” by losing their job and their health care, and are coming up against the deadline to get covered on the ACA exchange – failed politician John James still won’t stand up to protect Michiganders’ health care.
James has made clear he’s “all for” the Trump agenda – standing with him ‘2000%’ even as he works to take away health care by blocking a special open enrollment period, making it more difficult for newly-unemployed Michiganders to get health care, and has doubled down on the lawsuit to overturn the ACA in the courts. James’ vow to “work [his] tail off” to repeal the ACA shows he’d fall in line with Senate Republicans who have “no plan to help millions of Americans losing health insurance.”
“Michiganders are scrambling for health coverage, but as usual James is out-of-touch in his support for repealing the law that protects 1.7 million Michiganders with pre-existing conditions,” said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “Health care is on the ballot in November, and James has made clear he’s ‘2000%’ with Trump in taking away Michiganders’ health coverage when it matters most.”
The Michigan Democratic Party launched JohnJamesRevealed.com to hold the failed U.S. Senate candidate accountable for his positions – including those made over the course of the 2018 campaign that he then tried to delete after losing that campaign. Since announcing he’d run again, just over six months after his last failed bid, James has been hiding from Michigan voters and refusing to answer questions from Michigan media.
