NE-03: On Health Care, Bacon Says One Thing in Nebraska and Another in Washington

Congressman Don Bacon (R-Pharma) is willing to say anything to Nebraskan voters so he can get re-elected and go back to Washington to continue pursuing his corporate-sponsored agenda.

Let’s take a closer look at the evidence:

To Nebraskans: Bacon is “committed to protecting those with pre-existing conditions” [5/11/17]

In Washington: “Hell yes” Bacon will vote to gut protections for pre-existing conditions with his support of the AHCA [8/21/17]

To Nebraskans: “I want to keep parts of the ACA” [8/3/20]

In Washington: Bacon supports a lawsuit to repeal the ACA. Again.[7/30/20]

“Congressman Don Bacon loves to say he’ll protect pre-existing conditions before turning around and voting the opposite once he’s back in Washington,” said DCCC Spokesperson Sarah Guggenheimer. “Nebraskans have heard these false promises from Bacon before and know that when push comes to shove, he will always side with his corporate donors and Washington Republicans over their interests. It’s no wonder voters are ready to kick him out of office.”
