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.
