Republicans made a bad bill worse. July 13, 2017 Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District issued the following statement on the Senate’s updates to its disastrous version of Trumpcare. “Trumpcare’s latest iteration is a tortured attempt to keep a bad bill on life support. It offers Americans higher premiums and less coverage; high-risk pools for sick Americans and less financial assistance for working families. Thanks to Ted Cruz, the bill even offers plans that don’t comply with the law. There will be steep cuts and a phase out to Medicaid with no reasonable solutions to help serve the most vulnerable people in our nation. It is no surprise the bill is so bad. There have been no hearings, debates, or public input to openly discuss the legislation. No senator in good conscience can advance this bill.” |
