Congressman Jerry McNerney was sworn into office on January 4, 2007. He is proud to represent California’s 9th District, which includes a large portion of San Joaquin County in the Central Valley as well as parts of Contra Costa and Sacramento Counties.
McNerney was inspired to run for Congress by his son Michael, who in response to the attacks of September 11, sought and received a commission in the Air Force. Michael suggested that his Dad serve his country by running for Congress. With a deep sense of duty and his family’s support, McNerney began his journey to Congress.
"It’s been nearly four years since Congress passed the Affordable Care Act. In that time, we’ve already seen some of its positive effects – young adults able to stay on their parents’ insurance longer, a reduction in waste and fraud in Medicare, the elimination of discrimination against pre-existing conditions, and more affordable prescription drugs for seniors.
Here in California you can get coverage through our health care marketplace, Covered California. At Covered California’s website, www.coveredca.com, you can browse different health care plans and choose one that suits your needs and budget.
I’ve put together some resources about what the Affordable Care Act and Covered California mean for you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call any of my offices. My staff and I are here to help."
