November 1 marks the start date for ACA Open Enrollment
For six straight weeks, Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil have refused to address the health care crisis they created.
As millions of Americans begin shopping for health care tomorrow during the start of open enrollment, Wisconsinites will log on and see higher health care premiums because Van Orden and Steil would rather be on vacation than working to find a bipartisan solution to their health care crisis.
Because Van Orden, Steil, and Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, 235,000 Wisconsinites will face – on average – more than double the cost next year, forcing many to abandon their health coverage altogether. This is despite the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Congress extending the ACA tax credits.
Yesterday, the DCCC released a new digital ad in WI-03 and WI-01 to hold Van Orden and Steil accountable for their refusal to take action and failure to lower costs.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil are failing Wisconsinites. Open enrollment begins tomorrow, but Van Orden and Steil are on vacation and millions of Americans will face higher costs – or be forced to go without health care – because they want to shut the government down. Van Orden and Steil will own these price spikes and lose their seats next year because of this cruelty.”
