I am committed to working with my colleagues on ways to strengthen and improve the ACA, but I refuse to support any legislation that guts the law for political purposes.
Work with colleagues to strengthen and improve the Affordable Care Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House floor record says Democrats took action to extend the Affordable Care Act's enhanced premium tax credits for 3 years, then sent the fight to the Senate.
Pocan says he continues to support expanding the ACA and is committed to working with colleagues to strengthen and improve it.
Assessments
Pocan has repeatedly advocated strengthening the Affordable Care Act and the House record shows he and Democratic colleagues took a concrete step to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits, but the cited effort did not become final law. That supports meaningful pursuit of the promise, not full completion.
