Since its historic passage in 2010, the Affordable Care Act has helped more than 31 million Americans get covered with health insurance and saved Americans over $2 trillion in healthcare costs. Since its expansion, Rhode Island has become the second-lowest uninsured state in the country. However, Rhode Islanders are feeling squeezed by the rising cost of healthcare- from expensive emergency room visits to the astronomical cost of prescription drugs. In Congress, Seth will:
- Protect the Affordable Care Act against Republican attempts to repeal it
- Support expanding the Affordable Care Act, so Americans have improved access to the care they need
- Fight to lower the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices so all Americans are able to afford life-saving medications
- Support legislation to make the lower drug prices negotiated by Medicare available to Americans with private insurance, not just Medicare beneficiaries
