Tina Smith: Federal Judge’s Decision Threatens Vital Health Care Coverage for Millions of Americans | 2018-12-18 | 2018 | 2018-12 | Democrat | House | MN | Tina Smith | S001203 | www.smith.senate.gov | legacy | U.S. Sen. Tina Smith: Federal Judge's Decision Threatens Vital Health Care Coverage for Millions of Americans WASHINGTON, D.C. [12/14/18]Today, U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) released the following statement after a federal judge in Texas deemed provisions of the landmark Affordable Health Care Act unconstitutional. The ruling by a federal judge in Texas today to undermine historic health care legislationif the decision is allowed to standwould be catastrophic. This ruling would rob millions of their health care coverage, and would return us to the days whenAmericans could be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions, like cancer or diabetes, or allow women to be charged more for health insurance. Americans made their voices heard to stop repeal last year, and they voted out so many of those who attempted repeal this year. I will keep standing with the American people to fight against these reprehensible attacks on vital coverage. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
