Owens on SCOTUS ruling

U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, says the debate on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act is over.

Owens, who voted for the bill in 2010, issued this statement on this morning's Supreme Court ruling moments ago:

"Now that the court has ruled, Democrats and Republicans must come together to implement the law, which includes making changes where appropriate to improve provisions that still need work. The goal has always been to expand coverage, improve health care outcomes, and reduce costs for patients and providers. Now the debate is over and it’s time to move forward with those goals in mind."
