3rd District
Rosa DeLauro (D): DeLauro expresses concern over the repeal of Obama's Affordable Care Act, reports ABC News.
She said, "It's more than just whether or not they will do it and its politics. It is about the philosophy that is behind it and who they are willing to hurt and whose side they're on. That's what this vote is about. It's making health care affordable for those who have it and for those who do not have it. That is what Republicans do not want to have happen."
