WASHINGTON— Today the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. In response Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva issued the following statement:

“After over a decade of partisan attacks and Republican efforts to rip healthcare away from millions of vulnerable Americans, the Supreme Court has once again reaffirmed that the Affordable Care Act remains law. It’s unconscionable that this lawsuit even proceeded to the Supreme Court while Americans all over the country battled a deadly pandemic and needed access to quality, affordable healthcare now more than ever. It’s time for Republicans to stop their attacks on those with preexisting conditions and finally recognize the legality of the ACA. I’ll keep working in Congress to strengthen the law and move towards universal coverage so that every person in our country has access to the healthcare they deserve.”
