Hoyer Statement on House Passage of TrumpCare
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement this afternoon after House Republicans' TrumpCare bill passed the House:
"Today, 217 House Republicans voted to take health coverage away from 24 million Americans. They voted to make millions more pay more for less care. They voted to make coverage unaffordable for the one in four Americans with pre-existing conditions. But what they may not be counting on are the millions of Americans ready to hold them accountable for their actions today. This was not a free vote - it will come with a price. It will haunt them in the weeks and months to come.
"I am proud that Democrats stood united, voting unanimously against this dangerous and deeply flawed TrumpCare bill. Now it is up to the Senate to protect our country against the harm this legislation would unleash. I urge Senators not to take up this bill."
