Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Repeal Of Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act May 17, 2013
Yvette Clarke, D-NY
"The Affordable Care Act is a good law. Because of the Affordable Care Act, Americans now have access to a wide variety of free preventive services; insurers can no longer drop women from coverage when they become pregnant; Medicare is stronger due to some of the cost savings and other provisions in the act; Seniors are paying less for prescription drugs; Americans no longer face lifetime limits on care; and families are receiving rebates from insurance companies, when they unfairly inflate their costs."
Aca Repeal May 16, 2013
Marc Veasey, D-TX
"As a freshman Member, I can tell you where I stand, and that is in 100 percent pure full support of the Affordable Care Act."
What Happened To The “Replace” In Republicans’ “Repeal And Replace”? May 15, 2013
Peter DeFazio, D-OR
"Okay, 38th time repealing all or part of the Affordable Care Act. Now, the Republican mantra was “Repeal and Replace,” but somewhere along the way they forgot about the “replace” part. So tomorrow, total repeal."
The Affordable Care Act May 15, 2013
Andr�� Carson, D-IN
"Recently, I had a chance to spend some time with some Hoosiers across my district, and I heard again and again their worry about rising health care costs and their family’s ability to access care. Fortunately, millions of Americans no longer have to worry about accessing care because of the Affordable Care Act. Instead, more than half a million Medicare beneficiaries in Indiana alone received free preventive services in 2012, avoiding more costly illnesses. More than 17 million children with preexisting conditions nationwide are no longer being denied insurance coverage. More than 100 million Americans no longer face lifetime limits on coverage."
Why The Affordable Care Act Must Be Repealed May 15, 2013
Bill Johnson, R-OH
"As the American people continue to search for good-paying jobs, families in my district are trying to figure out how to stretch their paychecks to cover another trip to the grocery store or to buy clothes for their kids or to purchase another tank of gas for the car. Now we’re seeing reports that indicate most families will have to factor health care premium increases into their budgets as well—all because of the Affordable Care Act‘s policies, mandates, taxes, and fees."
