ACAP CEO Margaret A. Murray issued a statement following the midterm elections, calling the results "a clear call for change" and linking voter sentiment to concerns over health coverage affordability and access. The statement, issued through a press release, frames the election outcome as a signal that policymakers should prioritize protecting health coverage for families. It does not announce a specific policy change, rule, or legislative action, but positions ACAP, which represents safety-net health plans, to advocate for coverage protections going forward.
