WASHINGTON – American Action Network (AAN) President Dan Conston today issued the following statement on the introduction of Senator Bernie Sanders’ latest legislation to eliminate employer-sponsored health insurance for 180 million Americans and raise taxes on the middle class.

“This is the health care agenda of the left and it should be terrifying to everyday Americans. The 180 million people who would lose their employer-sponsored health insurance under this bill deserve better,” said Dan Conston, AAN President. “Too many liberals in Congress are determined to plow forward with their plans to eliminate the insurance plans that tens of millions of Americans know and like while simultaneously raising taxes on the middle class. This bill is bad policy and should be rejected by every Member of Congress who takes the wellbeing of their constituents and this country seriously.”
