CHA: COURT MAKES RIGHT RULING IN ACA SUBSIDIES CASE
Statement from Sister Carol Keehan, DC, President & CEO, Catholic Health Association:

(June 25, 2015) We applaud today’s Supreme Court ruling that will allow millions of people to keep their health coverage. By concluding that insurance subsidies are available to eligible people regardless of whether their state is a federally-run or state-run marketplace, the Court has granted a victory for the Affordable Care Act and the health of our nation.

The ACA has faced numerous challenges, from false rumors to judicial disputes. Now that the Supreme Court has once again ruled in favor of the law and its coverage provisions, it is time to move on. Our collective time and energy should now be spent building on the progress we have already made.

So far more than 16 million people — many of them vulnerable or uninsured for a lifetime — have obtained reliable, affordable, meaningful health coverage. CHA will continue working with our members and partners in government to continually improve the ACA so it can serve as a lifeline for generations to come.
