On the recordMarch 9, 2017
I want to share with you what repealing the Affordable Care Act means to Pennsylvania's Second Congressional District: 369,000 people who receive health care from their employers could lose consumer protections; 335,000 people with health coverage that covers preventive care services could lose their coverage; 62,000 people covered by Medicaid expansion could lose their coverage; 21,000 people who receive financial assistance will be at greater risk of not being able to afford coverage. These are our mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, and friends and neighbors. Philadelphia deserves a healthcare law that offers quality, affordable care. We must continue to speak up and speak out against the new healthcare law that hurts so many people in our city, our State, and our Nation. ____________________
