Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.) released the following statement after a Texas district court judge struck down the Affordable Care Act (ACA): After many failed attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in Congress, two losing efforts to undermine the law through the Supreme Court and a historic midterm election where the American people overwhelmingly rejected Republicans' repeated attacks on people with pre-exiting conditions, the GOP has once again turned to absurd legal challenges in order to tear away health insurance from millions of Americans and throw the health insurance marketplace into disarray. This ideological, meanspirited and wrongheaded court decision must be immediately appealed. While the GOP's harmful, last-ditch attempt to weaken the ACA continues to play out in the courts, I will join House Democrats in taking swift and methodical action to protect Americans with pre-existing conditions, increase access to health insurance and lower the costs of premiums for American families. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
