Schumer Statement On Chad Readler’s Nomination To The Sixth Circuit Court Of Appeals
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Chuck
Schumer today released the following statement regarding Chad Readler’s
nomination to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals:
“When the Senate votes on the nomination of Chad
Readler next week, every Republican will be forced to show their constituents
and the American people whether or not they stand for pre-existing condition
protections, more Americans having health coverage, protecting Medicaid, and
all insurance plans covering maternity care and prescription drugs. As Mr.
Readler is the author of the Trump administration’s decision to side with
Republican attorneys general suing to repeal our health care law, Senate
Democrats are united in opposing his nomination and we urge Republicans who
claim to support protections for pre-existing conditions to join us in voting
to reject him, as well. Any Republican Senator who supports his
nomination is supporting the Trump-Republican lawsuit to get rid of
pre-existing condition protections and take away health coverage from millions
of Americans.”
