Rep. Veasey Slams DOJ Filing Against ACA as "lacking in basic human empathy"

June 8, 2018

"My district, in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, has the highest uninsured rate of any Congressional District in the country. The Justice Department's brief urging the Texas courts to strike down a provision of the ACA jeopardizes the healthcare of millions of Texans," said Congressman Veasey.

"We cannot allow insurance companies to discriminate against the over 10 million Texans suffering from pre-existing conditions. It's a direct attack on their health and livelihood. These are Texans that need access to care the most. It's another despicable decision lacking in basic human empathy by the Trump Administration."
