WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement after the Supreme Court voted 7-2 to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA):  

“The ACA continues to win time and time again because Americans continue to make their voices heard about much-needed access to healthcare.

“With over 31 million Americans relying on the ACA for health insurance and ACA premiums decreasing over the last three years, we have a responsibility to protect and improve our nation’s healthcare system, including expanding Medicaid. It’s time to fix what we all know doesn’t work in the ACA and give people the peace of mind that the provisions that do work – the provisions they depend upon – will be protected.

“I know John Dingell is smiling at this decision, but he’s also telling us there’s much more work to be done. So that’s what I’m committed to doing. We need to build on the ACA, not destroy it. Today’s decision is a big win on the road to healthcare for every single person in the U.S. We must continue to work together so that every American has access to affordable, quality healthcare.”
