A Good Day for America

“Today is a good day for millions of Americans who have pre-existing conditions who can no longer be rejected by insurance companies,” Bernie said after the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act. “It is a good day for families with children under 26 who can keep their children on their health insurance policies. It is a good day for women who can no longer be charged far higher premiums than men. It is a good day for 30 million uninsured Americans who will now have access to health care. It is a good day for seniors who will continue to see their prescription drug costs go down as the so-called 'doughnut hole' goes away. It is a good day for small businesses who simply cannot continue to afford the escalating costs of providing insurance for their employees. It is a good day for 20 million more Americans who will soon be able to find access to community health centers.”
