Thom Tillis Voted to Repeal the ACA Seven Times. He Has To Go, Healthcare Advocates Say.
Tillis, a Trump ally and ACA critic, is risking coverage for North Carolinians with pre-existing conditions, advocates say during virtual meet Wednesday.
“In two seconds, my entire life changed.”
Montica Talmadge, a 34-year-old North Carolinian, is recalling the day in December 2013 when a driver plowed into the back of her stopped car in Raleigh.
She remembers the adrenaline, the way she tensed up before the collision. And she remembers pulling the parking brake up.
That was Dec. 5. By Dec. 20, Talmadge, an avid runner training for a Raleigh marathon, was on oxygen at Raleigh’s Rex Hospital with more than 60 blood clots in her lungs.
“I went from taking vitamins to taking a blood thinner every day,” she said Wednesday, speaking in a virtual meet hosted by progressive healthcare advocates.
The focus was the conservative healthcare record of North Carolina’s junior US senator, Republican Thom Tillis, who’s voted seven times since his election in 2014 to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
When she lost her job and health insurance months later, the price for her medicine went from about $30 a month to $840. Her hospital bills exceeded $85,000.
