Washington, July 9 -- Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi issued the following press release:

In a new USA TODAY op-ed, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and MomsRising Executive Director Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner argue that America's growing health care affordability crisis is the direct result of Republican policy choices that slashed Medicaid, increased costs for working families and prioritized war and tax breaks for the wealthy over the health of the American people.

They call on Congress to reverse Republican health care cuts, permanently extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits and recommit to policies that lower costs for families, strengthen the nation's health care system and ensure every American has access to affordable care.
