Statement from Mayor Emanuel on President Trump's Actions on Health Care Coverage

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“After Americans rejected Trumpcare, the President is single handedly choosing to increase the cost of quality care for the American people. At the same time, he’s making it more complicated for people to enroll in marketplace insurance. The president's actions are harmful and heartless. Americans living in poverty and those working to make ends meet should not suffer because the president is unwilling or unable to improve our health care system. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, more Chicagoans have quality insurance than ever before. We will work with our partners to make sure all Chicagoans have access, information and assistance for marketplace enrollment this year, even as the President has slashed funding and enrollment time. Open enrollment is from November 1 – December 15.”
