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:\nThis horrendous ruling is the judicial equivalent of filling the stockings with lumps of coal. Millions of familiesincluding those with pre-existing conditionsnow 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.\n###\nFollow Lloyd Doggett\nFacebook:https://www.Facebook.com/RepLloydDoggett | Twitter: @RepLloydDoggett| Instagram: @RepLloydDoggett", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://doggett.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-doggett-reacts-affordable-care-act-ruling-texas"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.394361024722457, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
