PAWTUCKET – U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (RI-01) issued the following statement tonight:

“Access to quality, affordable health care should be a right for all Americans, not just a privilege for the wealthy and well-off. It’s completely unacceptable that this increase is going to make it harder than ever for working Rhode Islanders to have affordable health care. Health care costs are about to skyrocket because late last year Republicans in Washington passed a new law cutting taxes for the wealthy and undermining the Affordable Care Act.”
