Patient-centered Affordable Health Care for You and Your Family

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the law of the land. The historic passage of this health care reform law in 2010 works to bring more transparency and accountability to the health care industry and ensure you and your family have access to the patient-protections and high-quality health care you deserve.

The law is already working to lower prescription costs for seniors, protect young adults from losing their coverage, and protect one in two Americans who suffer from pre-existing condition.

Because of the patient-centered reforms and protections in the health care law, seniors will never again have to choose between buying groceries or filling their prescriptions; young adults won't lose their coverage the day after they've earned their diplomas; and you can no longer be discriminated against and denied coverage for having a pre-existing condition, like fighting and beating cancer or simply being a woman.

As I've always said, health care reform is a journey, not a destination. The Affordable Care Act isn't perfect and I am willing to work with anyone who is genuine in their attempts to improve the law. That being said, I will continue to fight reckless attempts to repeal these patient protections and put big insurance companies back in charge.
