Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that (1) no American should lose protections for pre-existing conditions due to the enactment of an unconstitutional law, and (2) Congress should enact bipartisan legislation to guarantee affordable health insurance coverage if the Supreme Court decides the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.
