In the midst of an out-of-control pandemic, insurance industry-backed GOP officials just filed legal briefs asking the Supreme Court to DISMANTLE the Affordable Care Act.
This would END health care protections for women, young people, and tens of millions of us with pre-existing conditions.
DemocratJonOssoff's GOP opponent, Senator David Perdue, said he “of course” wants the lawsuit to succeed–calling the Affordable Care Act “untenable,” “unconscionable,” and “a total bust.”
(Shocker: Perdue has taken more than $250,000 from health industry PACs.)
David Perdue's record on health care has been disastrous for Georgians:
Perdue has voted *14* times to gut the ACA
He says he opposes Medicaid expansion, which would benefit hundreds of thousands of Georgians.
And he's taken over $250,000 from health industry PACs!
Now he's backing a lawsuit to pad insurance industry profits by ending vital consumer protections for women, young people, and 1.8 million Georgians with pre-existing conditions!
Unlike Perdue,JonOssoffwill fight to ensureeveryGeorgian has great health care and great health insurance.
Jonwill work to strengthen and improve the Affordable Care Act, andstronglyback Medicaid expansion.
Also, Stacey Abrams is determined to make sure the GOP doesn’t steal this race from Ossoff. I received this e-mail yesterday from Abrams in support of Ossoff’s campaign:
Even in the face of incompetence and voter suppression on the part of Georgia's Secretary of State, Georgia Democrats SHATTERED turnout records. We nominated a man I am proud to endorse for the U.S. Senate: my friendJonOssoff.
AND GET THIS: For the first time since 2008, Georgia's Democratic Primary votersexceededRepublican primary voters. We are building huge momentum here!
You all know my friendJonOssoffas the inspiring young Democrat who broke turnout and grassroots fundraising records in the historic Special Election for Georgia's Sixth District three years ago.
Joncame up just a few thousand votes short in the most expensive Congressional race of all time — and amidst suspicious destruction of election data — after running a historic campaign that built a huge progressive infrastructure in Georgia.
You may not know thatJonis also a former Congressional national security aide who now works as a media executive and investigative journalist, and thatJondoes amazing work exposing corruption, war crimes, and human rights abuses worldwide.
Jonleads a business that investigates powerful corporations, human traffickers, and other bad actors for major news organizations.
And when he worked in Washington,Jonmade a name for himself on Capitol Hill by helping investigate mass surveillance of American citizens and malfeasance by federal contractors.
When it comes to fighting corruption,JonOssoffdoes not back down.
When I ran for Governor in 2018, Georgia voters saw corruption and the abuse of power up close — a voting system that failed by design and disenfranchised countless Georgia voters.
Last week, we saw the same voting system fail us again, so we must work harder than ever to mobilize and protect voters so thatJoncan win.
JonOssoffis currently leading his Republican opponent in the polls.But forJonto win, we have to double down on our efforts to defend voting rights and ensure every vote is counted in Georgia.
