Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act

Jan. 19, 2011 | H.R. 2
In the first major vote after winning the majority, House Republicans voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health reform law. The ACA improves access to affordable health care coverage, provides consumer protections, and reduces the federal deficit. Among other effects repeal would cost 1.2 million young adults their coverage through their parents' health plan. It would mean higher drug prices for 2.7 million seniors, would eliminate free preventive services for 44 million seniors, and discard measures to help control health care costs. It would allow insurance companies to resume denying coverage, limiting care and spending premiums on larger CEO salaries and profits.

This is Bad for working people.
