Rep. Huntley on Upholding of the Affordable Care Act by the Supreme Court
ST. PAUL — In response to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act, known by many as Obamacare, State Representative Tom Huntley offered the following comment:
“The benefits of fully implementing the Affordable Care Act are going to be very real for Minnesotans and their families. Most notably for adults and children who currently cannot purchase insurance because they have a pre-existing condition. The Affordable Care Act fixes this policy, making it possible for all to purchase insurance to keep them and their families healthy.
“We have seen the benefit of extending parental coverage to young adults until their 26th birthday – already 32,000 young adults in Minnesota have been able to receive coverage under this policy.
“For consumers purchasing insurance, they’ll no longer have to worry about lifetime caps on coverage. And for individuals and small businesses looking to purchase insurance, they will have an effective, user-friendly tool in finding the best, most cost effective coverage through the implementation of a Health Insurance Market Exchange.”
