King County Councilmember Larry Phillips released the following statement about the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Affordable Care Act:

“The health of King County residents and that of King County’s economy and will be better off with the United States Supreme Court’s ruling today to uphold the Affordable Care Act. The dream, and now the reality, of healthcare for all is within reach after decades of struggling in vain to reduce the number of uninsured residents in our county and state.

“With implementation of the Affordable Care Act, we will be able to increase the health and stability of King County families as well as that of small businesses, and reduce the amount of charity care shifted to hospitals and local governments like King County. This is a great and historic day for King County and all Americans.”
