Milwaukee:  Robert Kraig, Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin, made the following statement in response this morning’s U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling affirming the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

“This historic ruling is a major step towards establishing the freedom of every American to make their own health care decisions.  We are one step closer to every American having the peace of mind of knowing that health care will be there when they need it.  The court’s decision is a particular relief to nearly one million Wisconsinites who have preexisting conditions who will face outrageous discrimination if they ever have to buy insurance on their own.  Now that a conservative Supreme Court has affirmed the constitutionality of the health care law, we believe that Governor Walker has a moral obligation to restart the implementation process here in Wisconsin.  We call on Walker to stop playing politics with people’s lives.”
