Washington, Jun 28, 2012 -

Today Maryland Congressman Chris Van Hollen issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled the Affordable Care Act constitutional:

“Today’s decision is a huge victory for the American people.  The historic Affordable Care Act has changed the course of health care in our nation for the better, and will continue to improve the quality of life for all Americans as it is fully phased in. Ensuring that people can’t be denied care or dropped from their coverage because they have a pre-existing condition; lowering health costs; refusing to force seniors to choose between lifesaving medicine or heating for their homes; expanding access to affordable care; and putting Americans – not insurance companies – in charge of their health care choices – that is what the Affordable Care Act means for our nation.”
