Issues: Health Insurance

Today, after the Supreme Court of the United States reaffirmed the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Representative Xavier Becerra (CA-31), Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, released the following statement:

"Three years ago, we began our historic work in Congress to ensure that no American could be denied access to quality affordable health care, to lower the costs of prescription drugs for our seniors, and to protect our most vulnerable from the ravages of an out-of-control health care system. Today, the Supreme Court of the United States has reaffirmed the constitutionality of our work on behalf of the American people to fix a broken health care system. I applaud the Court for its reasoned decision and I look forward to building upon the historic health care reform law to put Americans and their doctors back in charge of their health care choices"
