Today, Congressman Ami Bera (CA-7) issued the following statement after voting against House Republicans' budget designed to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

Today, I voted against a reckless budget that was drafted for the clear purpose of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Despite rhetoric of "Repeal and Replace," I have yet to see a meaningful replacement, without which millions of hardworking Americans would lose their health care, and thousands of workers would lose their jobs. Now more than ever, I want to work with my colleagues in the House to improve and make the Affordable Care Act better so that we can reduce the cost of health care and medication for families, seniors, businesses, and taxpayers, and keep Americans healthy.
