Defending Your Right to Healthcare
July 13, 2012
Dear Friends,
It has been barely two weeks since the Affordable Care Act was upheld by the Supreme Court, yet for the 31st time in this Congress, House Republicans voted to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act, taking away critical protections for millions of Americans. We have come too far and too close as a nation in providing affordable healthcare to every American to have it taken away. As the House sponsor of the Affordable Care Act, I was proud to stand with my Democratic colleagues behind President Barack Obama when he signed the healthcare bill. I will continue to defend and expand upon quality healthcare for all Americans, especially those who are most vulnerable. Republicans must stop refighting the battles of the past just to score political points and join Democrats in our efforts to put America back to work.
