Rubén Hinojosa: “It is our duty to make certain the Bureau follows through on its mission.”

In 2009, prior to ACA, 40 percent of the families in my congressional district were uninsured. Today, in 2016, only 20 percent are uninsured.

Just last month, we celebrated six years since ACA's enactment and celebrated the 20 million previously uninsured Americans who now have access to quality, affordable coverage.

Raising the debt ceiling is the only responsible thing to do, in my opinion.

I am encouraged that we are doing some things right and helping a lot of people who under the conditions that our ranking member, Bobby Scott, gave that could not afford it or had preexisting medical conditions, are now covered.
