Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released a statement today following President Obama’s signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 earlier today. Here’s his full statement:
“Today we improved the lives of millions of Americans. The numbers of those who will be assisted by this landmark legislation in Nevada alone are staggering. More than 600,000 Nevadans will be able to receive quality, affordable health care to keep themselves and their families healthy. More than 50,000 Nevada seniors will be able to get cheaper prescription drugs. Nevada residents will receive $5 billion in tax credits to purchase private insurance within the first five years of this bill’s enactment. This is a real-life impact for so many Nevadans and Americans.
