- "In the summer of 2017, the entire nation spoke up to tell Washington twice that we wanted to keep the ACA â not repeal it - but Washington turned a deaf ear, and then undermined the ACA in the Tax Reform Bill of 2017, which removed the individual mandate. Furthermore, the current administration directed the Department of Justice not to defend the ACA any longer in court, hoping that the entire ACA will be held unconstitutional by the new majority Republican Supreme Court. Yet, neither the administration nor the Senate majority have a healthcare plan of their own." (www.ginacolliasforcongress.com)
