McCollum Statement on 61st Attempt to Undermine or Repeal the Affordable Care Act

October 23, 2015

Congresswoman Betty McCollum released the following statement:

"Once again this morning, Republicans are attempting to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act. This is their 61st attempt to undermine a law which has helped millions of Americans access health care coverage.

Congress has work to do to keep our country running. Immediate action is required to ensure that we have the funds necessary to make investments in critical transportation infrastructure and that our nation does not default on its financial obligations.

Wasting time on partisan, politically motivated legislation that risks access to critical health care services for millions of Americans is reprehensible. Congress should stop playing these political games and do the work the American people sent us here to do."
