RALEIGH, NC – North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Wayne Goodwin released the following statement in response to the decision by Republican leaders in the U.S. House to pull a vote on Trumpcare:

 

“There’s a simple reason that Trumpcare was decisively defeated today: it’s a horrible piece of legislation that would hurt working families in North Carolina and across the country. Trumpcare would raise prices for seniors, kick 24 million people off their coverage and slash basic protections for everyone else.”

 

“While this bill isn’t going anywhere, it has at least revealed Donald Trump’s true priorities as President. Instead of keeping his campaign promise to fight for the middle-class, Trump’s going to spend every day in office working hand-in-hand with Congressional Republicans to keep shoveling money towards the wealthiest among us at the expense of everyone else.”
