Burwell:\n\u201cThe Supreme Court has once again affirmed that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Today\u2019s ruling by the Supreme Court is a victory for the 132,000 Alabamians who will be able to keep their health insurance, including 17,000 of my constituents in the 7th Congressional District.\n\u201cThe costs of providing care for those without insurance would have been shifted to taxpayers and hospitals had the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Our nation would have returned to the days when insurance companies were in charge of our health care system. The Affordable Care Act prevented insurers from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions and from charging women more than men for the same coverage.\n\u201cThis lawsuit was another costly attempt to unravel the ACA, and to deny health coverage to the people who most need it. The law works, and the tax credits have helped millions of Americans in every state sign up for health insurance. It\u2019s time to put an end to these pointless lawsuits that undermine this monumental law.\u201d\n###", 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": ["http://sewell.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-sewell-praises-supreme-court-decision-king-v-burwell"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7232690695673227, "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"}
