Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY) today issued the following statement on the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act:

“I am pleased the Supreme Court today upheld the Affordable Care Act, protecting access to health insurance and quality of coverage for millions of Americans.  This decision protects the coverage of  17 million children with pre-existing conditions, 6.6 million young adults on their parents’ plans, and 86 million seniors and families receiving free preventive care.  I will continue to work with my colleagues to improve the law and make health care more affordable for New Yorkers.”
