Vilsack Disappointed with House Vote

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack expressed disappointment with the U.S. House vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He said folks in rural America have suffered from a broken health care system for far too long. The health care law approved last year - he said - was bringing down the health care costs for the approximately 80-percent of rural Americans who are self-employed or work for a small business. He noted the legislation also addressed the shortage of providers in rural America.
