U.S. House of Representatives candidate Matt Varilek issued a statement today regarding the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act:

"Now that the uncertainty over the Supreme Court decision is behind us, we can all focus once again on strengthening the economy and on further efforts to improve health coverage, care, and cost-containment.

While the Affordable Care Act is not perfect, it is a step forward for millions of young people who now have insurance coverage, for people whom big insurance prefer to exclude because of pre-existing conditions, and seniors struggling with high prescription drug costs, just to name a few. I believe members of Congress should now put partisanship aside and come together to bring down costs, and that's where my focus will be."
