Press Release :
I am disappointed by today’s decision by a federal appeals court to invalidate a key component of the Affordable Care Act and send the case back to a lower court.  This will only cause further uncertainty for patients, consumers, and providers.  This case was brought by Republicans and supported by the Trump Administration, and it seeks to invalidate the law in its entirety – even the most popular provisions, such as protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions and eliminating annual and lifetime limits on coverage.
Press Release :
…Members are not considering whether this is going to help or hurt them in their election. They may have views on that. What they are really considering… is their personal responsibility, their oath of office, their pledge to defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.

Statement :
Madam Speaker, I’ve had the honor of serving in this House for over thirty-eight years.  I’ve served during six presidencies.  I’ve been here through moments of tremendous progress and terrible tragedy.  I’ve seen periods of rank partisanship and patriotic bipartisanship.  I’ve seen our two-party system work, and I’ve seen it break down.
