NFU Commends Court for Upholding ACA
Thu, 28 Jun 2012 10:00:46 CDT
National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson issued the following statement today in support of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA):
"Farmers, ranchers and rural residents face significant barriers to obtaining accessible, affordable health care. The ACA contains significant, necessary reforms that help all Americans, including those who are self-employed and purchasing expensive care from the individual market, afford insurance and the preventive care they need; provides resources to rural health care providers and incentives to physicians serving in rural areas; bars health care companies from denying coverage to individuals with preexisting conditions; and closes the Medicare prescription drug coverage 'donut hole.'
"All Americans deserve health care that is comprehensive, affordable and accessible, regardless of occupation or geographic area. NFU commends the Supreme Court on its decision to uphold the ACA, and looks forward to continuing to work with the administration to ensure the law is implemented as written."
