GOP Sen. Tillis: Dems Pushing ‘False Narrative’ on Pre-Existing Conditions

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said Democrats were pushing a “false narrative” that Republicans want to take away protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Tillis said, “It’s a false narrative for Democrats to come in and say if you elect Republicans we’re going to take that away. We’re doing everything we can including myself. I filled a bill to make sure we protect pre-existing conditions.”

He continued, “We want to replace the Affordable Care Act with a program that will work. That will provide people who have pre-existing conditions with health care.”

He added, “If we continue down this path, we’re going to have a health-care crisis, not only among those who are serviced by the Affordable Care Act, but the broader health-care market in this country is headed for disaster.”
