Lansing, MI-John E. Johnson, Jr., Interim Director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, has issued the following statement in response to today's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court sustaining the Affordable Care Act.
"The Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act is a victory for all who believe quality health care should be available to everyone. Michiganders can relax today knowing that their coverage will not be stripped away leaving their loved ones vulnerable and putting them one serious illness away from financial ruin. Affordable health care is an essential part of any effort to reduce racial, ethnic and gender disparities in treatment and in outcomes. We are gratified that the best tool we have for creating equitable access to health care has survived this challenge."
