Hoyer Statement on Latest Senate TrumpCare Bill
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after Senate Republicans released another version of their harmful TrumpCare bill:
“Senate Republicans’ latest attempt at a TrumpCare bill proves that no matter how they tweak it, what they produce continues to promise only higher rates, reduced coverage, cuts to Medicaid, and millions kicked off their plans – even those covered through their employers. Instead of trying to nip and tuck a bad, partisan bill in order to secure fifty-one votes, Republicans ought to abandon their TrumpCare legislation and instead work with Democrats to address the challenges facing our health care system in a bipartisan way. Democrats have always been ready to work across the aisle to strengthen the Affordable Care Act, bring costs down for consumers, stabilize markets, and ensure broader access to quality coverage for more Americans. I hope Republicans will now join us at the table.”
