Cindy Axne on the Fifth Circuit Court Ruling | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | IA | Cynthia Axne | A000378 | axne.house.gov | legacy | Washington D.C. Today, Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) issued the following statement on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Texas vs. United States: Yesterday's ruling by the Fifth Circuit is disastrous for Iowa. By continuing down a path that could lead to completely undoing the Affordable Care Act, this decision not only risks raising premiums in the short term, but it could also eliminate protections for the 1.2 million Iowans living with pre-existing conditions, undo Medicaid expansion, and send health care costs skyrocketing across our country. This campaign to undermine and eliminate health care coverage for Iowans has gone on too long. Since I've come to Congress, I've voted to lower prescription drug costs, protect those living with pre-existing conditions from losing their coverage, and supported legislation to improve care for seniors and children. We must focus on lowering costs and expanding access to health care, not eliminating coverage. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
