U.S. Representative Vic Snyder issued the following statement regarding his vote supporting this legislation:
“Middle class Arkansans with insurance will get more control over their health care choices, more power to hold insurance companies accountable for bad policies, and more affordable premiums. Medicare will be protected and improved for our seniors. 32 million Americans and small businesses without insurance will for the first time get the power and ability to get quality health insurance in the marketplace. And just like current federal law no federal money can pay for elective abortions.”
