Statement

Date: March 2, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Judicial Branch

Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced it will hear Texas v. the United States:

"The Trump Administration and Republicans are one step closer to dismantling our nation's health care system and eliminating extremely beneficial policies like protections for Americans with pre-existing health conditions, limits on out-of-pocket costs, Medicaid expansion, and the ban on lifetime coverage limits. If the Supreme Court rules against the Affordable Care Act, tens of millions of people will lose their health insurance and patients will be unable to access the critical treatments and medicines they need. In short, there will be widespread uncertainty, and Republicans have no alternative plan to prevent chaos. This is not hyperbole, it is the reality that we as a country must brace for if Republicans win their extremely harmful case."
