Ron Johnson’s New Campaign Pledge: Raise Health Care Costs and Rip Away Health Care Protections for Wisconsinites With Pre-existing Conditions
MADISON, Wis. – In a new interview, Ron Johnson doubled down on his self-serving agenda of raising health care costs and ripping away key protections from Wisconsinites. Johnson, who has made it a key priority to repeal the Affordable Care Act, outright admitted that if Wisconsinites re-elect him, he and his political allies will continue their assault on health care.
“Ron Johnson broke his two term pledge to double down on his self-serving agenda of raising health care costs and ripping away protections for Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin Senate Communications Advisor Philip Shulman said.
- Johnson believes health care is a “privilege” and not a right.
- Has Specifically pushed to allow insurers to go back to denying people coverage or jacking up costs for having pre-existing conditions.
- Stated that if the Supreme Court won’t overturn the ACA, Congress should do so.
- Despite the harmful impacts repealing the Affordable Care Act would have for Wisconsinites, Johnson has doubled down and said he would repeal it “in a heartbeat.”
- When given the opportunity to stand up for Wisconsin families or leave them out to dry, Johnson was even a deciding vote to push forward legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, despite there not being a full replacement.

Joe Biden, Obama, Bill Clinton, and the Democratic Party told us that if we voted for them, they would give us free health care, just like they have in Germany, France, the UK, Israel, and Canada.
The Democrats lied. They always lie to us. The Democrats gave us “Obama health insurance” instead of health care.
P.S. I never voted for a Republican in my life. I contributed thousands of dollars to Democrats and the Democratic Party… but never again.
With each pronouncement, Johnson creeps me further out.
