Congressman Moulton Opposes Repeal of Affordable Care Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) voted against a bill to repeal the patient protections and cost savings of the Affordable Care Act. The legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 239-186. This is the 56th time the House has voted to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act.

“In Massachusetts’ Sixth Congressional District, repealing the Affordable Care Act means taking away health care coverage from  an estimated 12,000 residents, kicking 1,800 kids off their parent’s health insurance, and making 155,000 seniors pay more for preventative care,” said Moulton. “The Affordable Care Act is not a perfect law, but it’s made a real difference for working families in Massachusetts. Rather than voting again and again to repeal the law’s important protections, we ought to work together to fix the law’s problems and ensure that every American has the right to quality health care.”
