Rep. Richmond Statement on King v. Burwell Decision
Washington, DC – Today Rep. Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision in King v. Burwell:
“I applaud the Supreme Court’s decision today,” said Rep. Richmond. “Ensuring all Americans have access to affordable health insurance was the goal of the Affordable Care Act. This decision marks the second time the ACA has been validated by the Supreme Court. It is a victory for common sense and for all American families.”
“Because of the ACA, millions of Americans have been able to get affordable health insurance and our nation’s spending on healthcare has slowed. Moving forward, I hope my Republican colleagues will drop their ‘repeal-at-all-cost’ mantra and work with us to continue improving the healthcare system.”
