Richmond Statement on the close of ACAs First Enrollment Period | 2014-04-01 | 2014 | 2014-04 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Richmond Statement on the close of ACA’s First Enrollment Period “As the first enrollment period comes to a close, the results clearly show that the Affordable Care Act is working. Over 7 million Americans have already taken advantage of the quality, affordable health insurance now available to them and, after the surge of last night’s deadline, we expect that number to grow,” said Rep. Richmond (LA-02). “For the first time in history, Americans now have peace of mind when it comes to getting health insurance to protect their health and the health of their families. They are no longer excluded due to preexisting conditions, seniors are seeing tremendous savings on their prescription drugs, and millions of young people are now covered under their parent’s plans.” “The health of the American people is not a political issue, it is a moral issue. We have a responsibility to ensure every citizen has access to reliable health insurance at a reasonable cost. The repeated attempts to sabotage the law undermine that responsibility and jeopardize the health and financial security of millions of Americans. The American people have made a statement that the Affordable Care Act is working for them. It is time for the GOP to listen and end their repeal-at-all-cost agenda so we can continue to work on moving this law forward.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
