ProgressVA Statement on Supreme Court Decision to Uphold Affordable Care Act

This morning the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of President Obama's health care reform legislation. ProgressVA released the following statement from Executive Director Anna Scholl:

"Virginia families are celebrating this morning that the Supreme Court followed precedent and upheld the Affordable Care Act. Now that there are no doubts about the constitutionality of the law, Virginia families can rest assured that important rules that put us, not insurance company CEOs, back in charge of our health care decisions are here to stay. Now it's time for Governor McDonnell, Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to stop dragging their heels and move forward with implementing the entire Affordable Care Act here in Virginia."
