One of the ways that we've already seen expansion of access to care... is the provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows young people to stay on their parents' health insurance until they're 26.
Ensuring access to quality and affordable healthcare has been and will always continue to be a very high priority of mine.
The Mental Health Parity Act and the Affordable Care Act both take important steps to make this vision a reality.
I am committed to bringing people together and working collaborative to make our Nation's new health law work for my home State of Wisconsin and other States.
The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, and it is now time for all of us to come together and put politics aside and make American's new health law work for the American people.
Implementation is going to move forward and the landmark health care law will continue to have a positive effect on millions of people's lives.
Those 200,000 people in Wisconsin deserve the certainty of knowing that quality and affordable care will be there for them.
Accepting the Medicaid expansion is a good deal for States because it is a boon to the States' uninsured and its taxpayers.
It is immoral to allow our fellow Americans to suffer because they can't access health insurance.
Over 200,000 Wisconsinites could gain Medicaid coverage through the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion.
I have really been concerned about my home State of Wisconsin and the way it has been holding back.
