Rep. Kaptur Issues Statement on Senate Rejection of Harmful Health Care Bill

WASHINGTON, July 28 -- Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, issued the following statement after the Senate voted down the latest push to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

"Let's hope this partisan driven chaos that was causing so much anxiety for the American people, is finally over. I am relieved the Senate rejected this ill-conceived ruse and all the Ohioans who gained the security of health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act can have peace of mind.

"The American people need Congress to fight for them on health care instead of appeasing special interests and catering to partisan politics.

"We still have work to do, and as I have said from the beginning of this debate, Congress should work on a bipartisan solution that lowers costs and ensures everyone has good quality health care."
