  • "But, Congressman Mike McCaul doesn’t get it. Time and again, McCaul voted to repeal and defund the Affordable Care Act, while supporting the Republican healthcare bill which would take away protections for people with preexisting conditions and strip coverage away from an estimated 52,000 folks right here in this district. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. In Congress, I will fight to control skyrocketing health care costs and help ensure every Texan has access to the quality care they need."
