Gwen Moore Opposes Further Attempts at ACA Repeal

Statement

Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) spoke out against legislation that would delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

"I am amazed today at the audacity and persistence of my Republican colleagues who are voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act for the 38th time. The continued challenge to this important piece of legislation is not only a waste of congressional time and resources but an affront to millions of Americans in need of affordable health care.

"This Republican legislation is absurd. The Obama administration has already delayed the employer mandate, and the so-called "Fairness for American Families Act' is anything but fair. Delays to coverage for individuals will further harm those families who are struggling to gain access to care by increasing their premiums.

"The American people want job creation and a living wage, not political posturing. Republicans must accept that the ACA will not be repealed beyond the House and abandon what are indeed costly attempts to destroy this reform.

"After 38 repeal attempts, the GOP is playing a game with themselves and losing. It's past time they join Democrats and work in favor of the American people."
