Democrats’ Health Care Reform Protects Americans While Republicans Search for Answers

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, but Republicans have vowed to once again attempt to repeal this groundbreaking legislation that has put Americans – not insurance companies – in charge of their own health care. This law strengthens and protects Medicare and preserves the Medicare guarantee for our nation’s seniors. Americans have already experienced numerous benefits from the health care reform law, including insurance companies no longer being able to discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions, seniors in the Medicare donut hole paying at least 50 percent less for their brand name drugs, and Americans with private insurance no longer being arbitrarily dropped from their plans when they get sick. When the law is fully implemented, Americans will have access to affordable health care coverage.
Instead of continuing to be the party of ‘no,’ it is time for Republicans to offer real solutions and alternatives. The Affordable Care Act has been upheld by the Supreme Court, but Republicans have scheduled a vote to repeal health care reform with no alternative to replace it.
Here’s a look at how health care reform proposals are helping Americans – while Republicans have no plan at all:
