    Texas Democrats welcome SCOTUS Upholding the ACA

    AUSTIN, TX (TIP): Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa, welcoming the Supreme Court ruling on ACA said, “Today’s Supreme Court ruling further shows that the ACA is here to stay. It is shameful that our disgraced Texas Attorney General led the charge to strip millions of Americans of their health coverage during the worst health crisis in recent history.

    “Democrats have consistently fought to defend the health and safety of fellow Americans by making healthcare more accessible and more affordable regardless of pre-existing conditions or a person’s ability to pay. President Biden’s American Rescue Plan further builds on the ACA by extending the enrollment period and reducing health insurance premiums for millions of American families who could not afford it under the original law.“Today is a great day for Texans and all Americans. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and we will make sure it stays that way.”
