Hoyer Statement on the CBO Score for Latest Senate TrumpCare Bill
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on the Congressional Budget Office's score for the latest Senate TrumpCare bill:
“How many times do Senate Republicans need to learn that their latest TrumpCare bill would be just as harmful as their previous one before they abandon this crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act? No matter how they tweak it, TrumpCare would be a danger to this country, kicking tens of millions off their coverage, increasing premiums and out-of-pocket costs, imposing an age tax on older Americans, gutting Medicaid, and making it harder for those with pre-existing conditions to get covered. This latest bill is not substantially different from any that came before, so I would hope that those who opposed it earlier will maintain their position. Democrats remain ready to sit down and work with Republicans to improve the Affordable Care Act in a bipartisan way. That is the only viable path forward now.”
