Chairman Crowley Statement on the 8th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act
(Queens, NY) – House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) issued the following statement on the 8th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA):
“Eight years ago today, our nation took a historic step to ensure all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, individuals with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage, Americans can access vital preventive care at no cost, insurance companies can no longer charge women higher rates than men for the same coverage, and millions of young people can stay on their parents’ health insurance until age 26.
“Sadly, despite the significant progress the ACA has meant for our health care system, the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans have continued their political obsession with dismantling and undermining the law.
“We will keep up the fight to protect the ACA and the progress that has been made, and to build upon these efforts so that every American family can enjoy the right to the care they deserve.”
