Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern's Statement on HealthCare Ruling

COLUMBUS, OHIO – In response to the US Supreme Court’sdecision upholding the constitutionality of President Obama’s chief legislativevictory, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Ohio DemocraticChairman Chris Redfern released the following statement:

“Today’s decision is legally sound, but more importantly, it’s morallyresponsible.

“Because of President Obama and Democrats’ bold vision, America is on course tolower our health care costs. With this decision, millions of Americans canbreathe a sigh of relief as we move forward to ensure that more of ourchildren, parents, and those with pre-existing conditions will have access tothe health care resources they need to stay healthy and recover from sickness.

“Hopefully, this ruling will finally end Republicans’ concerted push to doeverything they can to stand in the way of efforts to expand access to healthcare while reducing costs. And here at home, I hope this will motivate GovernorKasich to comply with the law, and finally set up the state health careexchange that he’s obstructed since he took office so Ohioans can purchasecoverage at affordable rates to stay healthy. Now more than ever, we need tostop re-litigating the past and move forward as we work to continue Ohio’stwo-and-a-half-year economic recovery, and create new jobs for middle classfamilies.”
