La votaci\u00f3n de hoy es otro irritante recordatorio de que para ellos, una campa\u00f1a vengativa para acabar con la atenci\u00f3n sanitaria asequible para millones de estadounidenses es m\u00e1s importante que luchar por sus electores.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl pueblo estadounidense se ha enfrentado repetidamente a un cruel intento tras otro de arrebatarle su cuidado. Han compartido historias desgarradoras de la vida antes de la&nbsp;<i>Ley de Asistencia Asequible<\/i>\u2014historias de enfermedades y facturas m\u00e9dicas abrumadoras, de elegir entre pagar el alquiler y surtir sus recetas. Y han compartido historias sobre la diferencia que esta ley ha marcado en sus vidas: historias sobre c\u00f3mo poder mantener la cobertura para sus hijos con enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas, sobre c\u00f3mo poder pagar la atenci\u00f3n por primera vez, sobre c\u00f3mo poder seguir adelante a trav\u00e9s de situaciones dif\u00edciles. diagn\u00f3sticos sin preocuparse por la quiebra.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;No cometer errores. En la d\u00e9cada transcurrida desde que se aprob\u00f3 la ACA, el presidente Trump y los republicanos del Senado nunca han propuesto un plan de reemplazo que proteja a los estadounidenses con condiciones preexistentes, ampl\u00ede el acceso a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica o reduzca los costos para los estadounidenses que realmente necesitan atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. Pasaron un a\u00f1o tratando de derogar la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica a las personas, y cuando fracasaron, los pol\u00edticos estatales republicanos y el Departamento de Justicia de Donald Trump presentaron demanda tras demanda para destruir la cobertura de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSu estrategia termina en derogar la ACA y volver a los viejos tiempos. Y la votaci\u00f3n de hoy, al igual que la nominaci\u00f3n de un opositor declarado de la ACA a la Corte Suprema, refuerza que contin\u00faan destruyendo la cobertura para condiciones preexistentes incluso frente a la peor pandemia en un siglo. Su estrategia es una hoja de ruta para m\u00e1s enfermedades, m\u00e1s sufrimiento y m\u00e1s devastaci\u00f3n financiera\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash;
