Mark Takano Statement on the Affordable Care Act Decision

Statement

Mark Takano, candidate for Congress in the 41st District of California, released the following statement today:

"I am very pleased that today the Supreme Court followed the Constitution and upheld a law that ensures that young adults just starting their careers can remain on their parent's health insurance plan, that seniors don't have to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine because of a gap in Medicare coverage, and that no American will be turned down for coverage because of a pre-existing condition.

Unfortunately, House Republicans, who are on in the pocket of big insurance companies, only want to play political games instead of focusing on getting our economy back on track. In Congress, I will stand with middle class families and fight to bring good-paying jobs to the Inland Empire, to improve access to higher education and to protect Medicare from Republican plans to privatize it."
