Lastly today, I rise for access to affordable and quality healthcare for my constituents and all Americans: Too many constituents do not get the care they need due to skyrocketing costs. Too many seniors can't afford their prescriptions, and they are cutting their pills in half to stretch their medicine. Too many young people cannot afford the insurance premiums to even get access to a doctor. At the beginning of this Congress, I met with stakeholders in my district to solicit their help. I will continue to support the Affordable Care Act and oppose Republicans' attempts to dismantle this critical legislation, because if Republicans had their way, nearly 30 million Americans would lose their healthcare--an unconscionable and sobering statistic. I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act. Mr. Speaker, I am fighting for the people of the Third Congressional District of Ohio. ____________________
