WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for millions of middle-class and low-income Americans who will continue to have access to affordable health insurance. Although I was not in the Senate when the Affordable Care Act was written and passed, it has always been indisputable that the bill’s authors intended for Americans in every state to have access to health insurance tax credits. Now that the Supreme Court has once again rejected a politically motivated legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act, it is my hope that we can turn the page and focus on ways to continue improving the law and ensuring every American has access to quality, affordable health care coverage. After years of political posturing, it’s time for Congress to come together to ensure our health care system leaves no American behind.”
