Ryan applauds Supreme Court decision on Affordable Care Act

WASHINGTON, D.C.

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan supports today’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Affordable Care Act subsidies, he said in a statement.

“Today’s decision means 161,000 Ohioans and 6.4 million Americans will be able to keep their health care. It is clear that the Affordable Care Act ensures that everyone in the United States has the right to access affordable, quality health coverage - regardless of who they are or where they live,” Ryan of Howland, D-13th, said in the prepared release.

“I applaud the Supreme Court for making the right decision and prioritizing our nation’s health. I vow to continue working to improve and expand this law, which gives so many the care they need and so deeply deserve,” the statement reads.

The Supreme Court’s ruling was a 6-3 decision that says tax credits are available to individuals in states that have a federal exchange.
