Pingree Statement on California V. Texas, Future of the Affordable Care Act

As the Supreme Court hears arguments this morning in California v. Texas, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) released the following statement:

“For over a decade, the Affordable Care Act has provided a foundation of health care access and protections to all Americans. As our nation battles a pandemic that has already taken more than 235,000 American lives, this law is more important than ever. With this lawsuit, Republicans are trying to strip away health care access for millions yet again-- just weeks after forcing the partisan confirmation of a radical Supreme Court justice and, as always, without a replacement plan. The Supreme Court has already upheld the ACA twice, and it must do so again.”
