Congressman Doggett Reacts to Affordable Care Act Ruling in Texas

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement in reaction to federal judge in Texas striking down the entire Affordable Care Act last night:

"This horrendous ruling is the judicial equivalent of filling the stockings with lumps of coal. Millions of families—including those with pre-existing conditions—now face the uncertainties of print denials, inadequate coverage, exorbitant premiums, and lack of basic care. If not reversed on appeal, we must find a legislative way of preventing this Republican conspiracy from denying Americans health care."
