WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed S. Con. Res. 3, which paves the way to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a more patient-centered healthcare system:

“Today, I joined my House colleagues in taking the first step in repealing the President’s flawed healthcare law and transitioning to a patient-centered healthcare system. While we have many more steps ahead, I will continue to listen to Kansans and ensure their thoughts on a better healthcare system are heard in Congress – such as allowing dependents to stay on their parent's healthcare plan until the age of 26. Additionally, I believe it is important that we have a replacement plan that is concurrent with a repeal of Obamacare. I look forward to working with my colleagues to create a more patient-centered healthcare solution that puts the control of their own healthcare back in the hands of the American people.”
