Press Release

Rep. Ami Bera, M.D. provided the following comment after the Supreme Court announced their decision regarding the Hobby Lobby case:

"The Supreme Court's decision today in the Hobby Lobby case sets a dangerous precedent by putting employers in charge of health care decisions for the people who work for them. As a doctor, I believe no one belongs coming between doctors and patients, not bosses, and not politicians. I'm very disappointed by today's decision and I will continue to fight against interfering in the exam room."
