WASHINGTON, D.C. – Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision in King v. Burwell:
“I’m relieved that millions of Americans will continue to have access to quality, affordable health insurance. This case never should have gone this far, but the Court made the right decision today.
“Now that this desperate attempt to upend the law at the expense of Americans’ well-being has failed, Democrats and Republicans should work together to make the health care system work efficiently and effectively for all Americans.”
