WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez issued the below statement following tonight’s vote on Senate Republican’s bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act:

“Tonight, millions of American families who rely on the affordable health coverage provided under the ACA can breathe a sigh of relief.

“And tonight, the hundreds of thousands of Americans who stood up, spoke out and demanded that politics be put aside should know that their power – the power of the people – proved stronger than the people in power.

“Tonight confirms the only way forward is to work together on behalf of all Americans.

“So, tomorrow, let’s get to work.”
