Burwell | 2015-06-25 | 2015 | 2015-06 | Democrat | House | AL | Terri Sewell | S001185 | sewell.house.gov | legacy | Congresswoman Terri Sewell released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision in King v. Burwell: “The Supreme Court has once again affirmed that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court is a victory for the 132,000 Alabamians who will be able to keep their health insurance, including 17,000 of my constituents in the 7th Congressional District. “The costs of providing care for those without insurance would have been shifted to taxpayers and hospitals had the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Our nation would have returned to the days when insurance companies were in charge of our health care system. The Affordable Care Act prevented insurers from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions and from charging women more than men for the same coverage. “This lawsuit was another costly attempt to unravel the ACA, and to deny health coverage to the people who most need it. The law works, and the tax credits have helped millions of Americans in every state sign up for health insurance. It’s time to put an end to these pointless lawsuits that undermine this monumental law.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
