Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision in King v. Burwell:

"Today, for the second time, the Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act.

"This is a victory for common sense and for all American families. It is long past time for Republicans to abandon their assault on the newfound health security that the Affordable Care Act is providing millions and millions of Americans across the country.

"The Court's decision ensures that all eligible Americans, regardless of their home states, have the access to premium tax credits to afford life-saving health care.

"American workers and middle-class families will continue to enjoy the benefits of quality, accessible health care and dependable, affordable health coverage."
