Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today after President Obama announced an administrative change to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that will allow consumers to remain on their 2013 health plans in 2014, even if the plans do not meet new additional coverage protections required by the law. Insurers will be required to inform consumers of their option to purchase coverage through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, where many may qualify for premium assistance, and to disclose the protections their policyholders will forgo if they choose to keep the plan they have. President Obama has made clear his priority is to ensure that every American has access to quality, affordable health care. Today's administrative change should help smooth the transition to better coverage for individuals buying insurance in the individual and small group markets, preserve the benefits of the ACA for millions of people who are now able to buy quality health coverage for the first time, and retain the ACA's consumer protections for Americans who buy insurance through their employer. While I remain concerned by difficulties implementing the Affordable Care Act, what we will not do is use these challenges as an excuse to repeal the law, which House Republican leaders called for yet again today. I am unwilling to turn my back on the millions of Americans who have been waiting for years to access quality insurance, including those who suffer from or have survived cancer and other diseases. I also stand by other common-sense ACA reforms that are reliant on the full implementation of the law, such as its ban on gender discrimination, its elimination of annual and lifetime coverage caps, and its provision for children to stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26. The Republican alternative' is the same today as it has been for years: a return to the broken status quo. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
