Rosen's resolution, which she introduced in July, would authorize the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives to intervene in an ongoing federal lawsuit on behalf of the House to defend the constitutionality of the ACA's coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions. The Republican lawsuit jeopardizes the health care of millions of Americans, including hundreds of thousands of Nevadans. The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress are actively trying to sabotage our nation's healthcare and have put thousands of Nevadans' lives at risk by refusing to defend key components of the ACA that protect those with pre-existing conditions, said Rosen. No one wants to go back to a time when big insurance companies could deny coverage just for having pre-existing condition and this resolution would prevent Republicans from turning back the clock. I'll continue to make progress on this issue and will keep fighting to make Nevadans' access to quality, affordable health care a priority in Congress. BACKGROUND: Rosen's resolution is co-sponsored by the Ranking Members of all House committees of jurisdiction in addition to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a similar Senate resolution to authorize the Senate Legal Counsel to intervene in Texas vs. United States.\n\nSPANISH TRANSLATION:  \n\t\nLA RESOLUCIN DE ROSEN PARA DEFENDER LA CONSTITUCIONALIDAD DE LAS CONDICIONES PRE-EXISTENTES EN LA CORTE FEDERAL ALCANZA 150 COPATROCINADORES\n  WASHINGTON, DC - Hoy, la Congresista Jacky Rosen (NV-03) emiti la siguiente declaracin anunciando que 150 miembros de la Cmara de Representantes han firmado su Resolucin en la Cmara para defender la constitucionalidad de las provisiones protegidas para condiciones preexistentes bajo la Ley de Proteccin al Paciente y Cuidado de Salud Asequible (ACA, por sus siglas en Ingls). La Resolucin de Rosen, que ella present en julio, autorizara a la Oficina del Consejo General de la Cmara de Representantes de EE.UU. a intervenir en una demanda federal pendiente en nombre de la Cmara para defender la constitucionalidad de las protecciones de cobertura del ACA para personas con condiciones preexistentes. La demanda republicana pone en peligro el cuidado de la salud de millones de estadounidenses, incluyendo cientos de miles de Nevadenses. La Administracin de Trump y los republicanos en el Congreso estn intentando activamente en sabotear la atencin mdica de nuestra nacin y han puesto en riesgo la vida de miles de habitantes de Nevada al negarse a defender componentes clave del ACA que protegen a las personas con condiciones preexistentes, dijo Rosen. Nadie quiere volver a un momento en que las compaas de seguros podian negar la cobertura solo por tener una condicin preexistente y esta Resolucin evitar que los republicanos le den marcha atrs al reloj. Continuar avanzando en este tema y seguir luchando para que el acceso de los habitantes de Nevada a una atencin mdica de calidad y asequible sea una prioridad en el Congreso.
