Repeal of Obamacare Act

Jul. 11, 2012 | H.R. 6079

Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was constitutional, congressional Republicans held their 33rd vote to repeal the health care reform law. The ACA improves access to affordable health care coverage, provides consumer protections, and reduces the federal deficit. If repealed, 1.2 million young adults would lose their coverage through their parents' health plan; 2.7 million seniors would pay higher prices for prescription drugs; 44 million seniors would be denied free preventive services; and insurance companies would be allowed to resume denying coverage, limiting care and spending premiums on larger CEO salaries and profits. The legislation passed.
