Pima County Attorney Moves Forward with Litigation Against the Trump Administration's Attempt to Suppress Access to Affordable Care Act Health Insurance
TUCSON, Ariz. – Today, Pima County Attorney Laura Conover announced the County will pursue litigation aimed at the Trump Administration to try to stop the deconstruction of the Affordable Care Act to help preserve healthcare for thousands of Arizonans.
County Attorney Conover has released the following statement:
"After our Office was offered the opportunity to become the first county in the country to launch a lawsuit against the new rule changes that would undermine the Affordable Care Act, I am thrilled with the decision by the majority of the Board of Supervisors to allow me to proceed.
As the County Attorney, I represent the health department and other public health entities that will bear the brunt of the cost associated with their noble mission to serve all patients, whether they are insured or not.
I want to thank our partners for the opportunity to join forces in this important work during one of the most critical times in our country's history. I will do everything I can to stay on our winning streak of protecting the people of Pima County and protecting taxpayer dollars from this federal administration."
The Pima County Attorney’s Office is committed to restorative justice, transparency, and accountability as the focus of a mission that also seeks alternatives to incarceration when appropriate, provides support for victims, and strives to be inclusive and equitable to all segments of the communities we serve in the pursuit of public safety and well-being.
