CASTRO STATEMENT ON THE SUPREME COURT'S KING V. BURWELL RULING

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court's decision upholding the legality of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for the 34 states, including Texas, that use the federal marketplace:

"Today's ruling is a victory for the millions of Americans, including nearly 1 million Texans, who gained health insurance because of the Affordable Care Act. Despite unrelenting Republican attempts to repeal the ACA, the law has prevailed and families' access to affordable, quality health care is preserved. The healthier the American people are, the stronger our United States will be. Upholding the ACA is good for our country, and a tremendous relief to families across the nation who can rest easy knowing that they will not lose their coverage."
