US Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Care Act

Rosa Pavanelli, General Secretary of Public Services International (PSI) commended the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the King v. Burwell case that rejects the Republicans' attack on the Affordable Care Act and on the eligibility of Americans to purchase affordable health insurance.

“The U.S. Supreme Court's decision defends the undeniable right of Americans to quality and affordable health care. This is a landmark step toward a more democratic and accessible health system for all. Moreover, this decision concerns not only the United States, it sends out a strong positive message to the whole world, since it puts the interest of people before the profits of insurance and health companies. This decision confirms PSI’s belief and commitment to ensure that everyone, regardless of wealth, should be entitled to quality healthcare.”
