TFAH Statement on Texas Court ACA Ruling

John Auerbach, President and CEO of Trust for America’s Health released the following statement in response to the Texas court ruling on the ACA.

 “Last Friday’s ruling by a Texas court that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional due to the elimination of the individual mandate puts millions of Americans – particularly those with pre-existing conditions – at risk of losing health coverage. It would also eliminate the Prevention and Public Health Fund, coverage of preventive services, and many other health protections. The ACA remains the law of the land as this lawsuit moves through the appeals process, and TFAH calls on Congress to ensure the health care coverage, public health investments and other protections that Americans depend on remain available.”
