Hoyer Statement on the Latest Senate TrumpCare Bill
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on legislation proposed by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to repeal the Affordable Care Act:
“American families and their health care providers are sick and tired of the unnecessary uncertainty caused by Congressional Republicans’ obsession with repealing the Affordable Care Act. The Graham-Cassidy proposal is merely the latest attempt, and it is not an improvement from previous iterations of TrumpCare. This proposal does not address any of the concerns of senators who opposed previous versions, such as that tens of millions of Americans would lose their health care coverage, see their health care costs rise, be vulnerable to an age tax on older Americans, lose protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and see dangerous changes to Medicaid.
"I urge Republican Senators to abandon their efforts to impose this health care disaster on the American people and instead work with Democrats on bipartisan efforts to stabilize our health care markets and make it possible for more Americans to benefit from quality, affordable coverage.”
