San Francisco – Speaker Pelosi released this statement, announcing the House will vote next week on H. Res. 271, a resolution led by Congressman Colin Allred, condemning the Trump Administration's legal campaign to take away Americans' health care:

"This week, the Trump Administration decided not only to try to destroy protections for Americans living with pre-existing conditions, but to declare all-out war on the health care of hard-working families across the country. The American people deserve to see exactly where their representatives stand on the Trump Administration's vicious campaign to take away their health care.

"On day one of this Congress, the Democratic majority voted to throw the full legal weight of the House of Representative against this cruel Republican lawsuit which threatens devastation in the lives of tens of millions of American families. We will continue to fight relentlessly to protect people with pre-existing conditions and lower health costs for American families, not take health care away."
