WASHINGTON, DC - Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, by a vote of 220-215.  The legislation will lower health care costs, provide access to care for 36 million Americans, and provide a public option for consumers to help encourage competition among insurers and drive health costs down.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Doris O. Matsui (CA-05) joined her colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act.  This legislation will reform our nation’s health insurance system, make health coverage more affordable and accessible, and increase the quality of care for all Americans.  As a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today Congressman David Wu issued the following statement after joining the majority of the House of Representatives to pass comprehensive health care legislation:

”This is a historic day.  This legislation will stand beside Social Security, the GI Bill, and Medicare as a pillar of American health care and humane values. 

“With today’s passage of H.R. 3962, America has never been closer to truly reforming our broken health care system,” said Rep. Chu. “The magnitude of this accomplishment cannot be overstated: for six decades, Congress and a number of presidential administrations have tried – and failed – in this monumental task. So President Obama and our Leaders in Congress deserve great credit for bringing us this far, and I am honored and humbled to have been a part of the debate over what I truly consider to be the most important piece of legislation of this century. 

Congresswoman Judy Chu, in Collaboration With L.A. County Supervisor Gloria Molina and Centro Maravilla Service Center cordially Invite You to the Grand Opening of Congresswoman Chu’s East Los Angeles District Office and Centro Maravilla Service Center’s Open House
