Washington, D.C. – Leader Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement regarding today’s U.S. District court ruling in Florida on the Affordable Care Act:

“Today’s court ruling is one of many. While some are using every means to undermine patients’ rights, we will continue to protect the millions of parents, children, students, seniors who rely on Medicare, and small businesses who are benefiting from reform and will benefit soon. We strongly believe that health reform is constitutional, and is consistent with longstanding precedents of the Supreme Court.”
