Support expanding the Affordable Care Act, so Americans have improved access to the care they need
Seth will support expanding the Affordable Care Act so Americans have improved access to the care they need.
Occurrences
Evidence
Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, in Rhode Island and all across the country, people are being crushed by high healthcare costs because Republicans have refused to extend the Affordable Care Act funding... Here is an idea. How about we invest in providing relief to the American people who are being crushed by out-of-control healthcare costs... extend this Affordable Care Act funding now once and for all.
Representative Magaziner is committed to ensuring high-quality, affordable health care, including mental health care, for every American. In Congress, Rep. Magaziner is fighting to lower healthcare costs, and especially to lower the cost of prescription drugs like insulin for all Americans.
Assessments
The promise was phrased as a commitment to support expanding or strengthening the Affordable Care Act, not as a pledge to single-handedly enact a federal expansion. As a sitting U.S. representative, Magaziner publicly advocated on the House floor for extending ACA funding and his official congressional materials identify affordable health care and lower costs as priorities. That is sufficient evidence of same-term support for the promised policy direction, even though the record provided does not show a separately enacted ACA expansion attributable to him.
