    June 24, 2020 Attorney General Jeff Landry Louisiana Department of Justice 1885 North Third Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Dear Attorney General Landry: The undersigned organizations, representing thousands of Louisiana patients and consumers, respectfully request that you immediately withdraw the State of Louisiana from the harmful California v. Texas lawsuit. If ​ ​ successful, this lawsuit would overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), and take away vital healthcare coverage and patient protections from your constituents. The Covid-19 public health emergency highlights the importance of a robust healthcare system able to provide quality care and respond quickly when new threats emerge. Thanks to the ACA, Louisiana entered the Covid-19 pandemic better positioned than most Southern states to both fight the pandemic and support the people of Louisiana with a more robust healthcare system and historically high levels of health insurance coverage. This lawsuit threatens to undo these gains. Since its enactment in 2010, the ACA has brought many improvements to the national health care system, including Medicaid expansion for low income adults, a private health insurance marketplace with federal subsidies for low and moderate income Americans, and numerous patient protections, including the ability of young adults to remain on their parent’s insurance and coverage of pre-existing conditions. The pre-existing condition guarantee has become even more critical now that insurers would likely consider Covid-19 a ​ pre-existing condition1 for tens of thousands of Louisianans. These ACA provisions are good for Louisiana. An early feature of the law, the subsidized health insurance marketplace, helped drive down uninsured rates through affordable coverage for low- and moderate- income families starting in 2014.

  • January 13, 2021 Acting Attorney General Jeffery A. Rosen U.S
    January 13, 2021 Acting Attorney General Jeffery A. Rosen U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20530-0001 Dear Acting Attorney General Rosen, We write to echo and emphasize our colleagues’ condemnation of the violent breach of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Such an abhorrent act is an affront to our nation, and we commend the United States Department of Justice for taking expedient steps toward prosecution. Attorneys General are called to lead by and to the rule of law in pursuit of justice and equality. We should all – collectively – decry political violence in every instance. The culture war is no longer a cold one, and it’s heating rapidly. The last several years have seen an assassination attempt that left Representative Steve Scalise fighting for his life, bombs mailed to public figures and detonated in city centers, buildings or entire blocks taken or held by force, and mass demonstrations that led to destruction, injury, and death. Our people and police officers are targeted and killed, our courthouses and churches burned, and the seat of our nation’s government was breached by an angry mob. Like all Americans, we seek clarity and direction toward a bright future. Like all of you, we believe the rule of law clearly leads to harmony. But until we Attorneys General stand together against all political violence, we amplify aimless partisan wandering instead of taking strides toward unity. When Antifa or like-minded rioters stoked violence on college campuses, we did not have the strength to unify. Now they stoke violence in our streets as we wonder where all this chaos started.
