Statement by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on Proposed Repeal of Health Care Reform

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today issued the following statement on House legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, the historic health care reform law approved last year by Congress.

"No matter how good schools are, students won't be able to learn if they're not healthy. The House bill will roll back the advances we've made to ensure our students are healthy, and would be a step backward as a country in preparing students for success in schools and in life."
