I believe that we have a moral obligation to ensure that all Americans, regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, or income, receive the health care they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
Today marks the 14th anniversary of the signing of a landmark piece of health care legislation, the Affordable Care Act.
In 2010, I supported this health care reform legislation because it represented an historic opportunity to make health care more accessible and affordable. I believe this was in the best interest for Georgia’s Second Congressional District and our country, both in the short and long-term.
With the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, there were thousands of people in my district with pre-existing conditions who could no longer be denied affordable health insurance, small business owners who were now eligible for tax credits to help employees with health insurance, and senior citizens who benefited from a stronger Medicare.
For these people and for the millions of Americans like them, I supported the Affordable Care Act. I believe that we have a moral obligation to ensure that all Americans, regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, or income, receive the health care they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
Congressman Sanford Bishop is serving his sixteenth term in the United States House of Representatives, representing the constituents of the Second Congressional District of Georgia. A consensus builder that works with members on both sides of the aisle, Congressman Bishop is uniquely dedicated to his constituents and has demonstrated himself as a leader inside of Congress.
