On behalf of the people of Nevada's Third District, I rise today for the 288,000 Nevadans with Medicaid, thanks to the Affordable Care Act; For the thousands of young Nevadans under the age of 26 who can stay on their parent's health plan, thanks to the Affordable Care Act; For the nearly 350,000 Nevada seniors on Medicare part D who are now paying less for their prescription drugs, thanks to the Affordable Care Act; For the 20 million Americans who are scared right now of losing the healthcare they have finally received, thanks to the Affordable Care Act; and For the 1.2 million Nevadans and 130 million Americans with asthma, high blood pressure, ALS, cancer, cystic fibrosis, depression, HIV, and other diseases, for their preexisting conditions that will not be protected if the Affordable Care Act is dismantled. Look, it is pretty simple. If the lower court decision in Texas v. United States lawsuit stands, millions could lose their health insurance. I stand for every one of those Americans, and we should all stand for them. ____________________
