Affordable Care Act (ACA)

The League has joined an amicus brief in the case of King v. Burwell, which will be heard by the Supreme Court on March 4.

Today's Supreme Court decision on contraceptive coverage dealt a serious blow to women’s right to equal health care in America.

This month marks the fourth anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The League was a strong advocate for the legislation when it was debated and passed by Congress in 2010.

State and local Leagues throughout the country have been working with government agencies, health care providers and advocates to get the word out to the American people on the Affordable Care Act and its pivotal impact on their lives.

Beginning August 1st, millions of women around the country will be able to receive free preventive health care benefits through the Affordable Care Act!

“The League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara [CA] will continue to educate our community on the ACA and its pivotal impact on their lives, and work to fully implement the law, while continuing to work for further healthcare reform in California.”

Marilyn A. O'Dell, co-president League of Women Voters of Utah: "Because of these vital benefits, the League of Women Voters supports ACA and aims to inform Utahns about its pivotal impact on their lives."

“The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Car Act will protect health care for Pennsylvanians. This is essential for protecting the health and welfare of our children, our most cherished investment.”

“Supporters of the Affordable Care Act gathered at the [FL] state Capitol Friday to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding the law. The Florida Pediatric Society was joined by the League of Women Voters, the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans and other consumer advocates to praise the court's landmark decision.”

“‘The League of Women Voters of Asheville-Buncombe County [NC] will continue to educate our community on the ACA and its pivotal impact on their lives and work to fully implement the law. Health care for all must be the goal as we expand coverage to millions of Americans and preserve the ACA’s transformational reforms,’ said Karen Oelschlaeger...”
