Reaction to House approved healthcare bill

Trump and GOP leaders took a victory lap at the White House following the bill’s passage before Trump jetted off to NY to meet with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and make remarks at the USS Intrepid Museum. “In 2010, it was largely Democrats who paid the price for their votes to approve the Affordable Care Act”, Borick said.

Though Republicans didn’t seem too bothered by the taunt, as Aides were spotted bringing alcohol into the Capitol to celebrate their victory. “Will have much lower premiums & deductibles while at the same time taking care of pre-existing conditions!” But enough of them came back when Dollars 8 billion was added to help states fund coverage for those people. “Because of Senate rules, it is hard to achieve the complete healthcare reform we want to accomplish, but this bill is a positive step in the right direction”. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the provision could reduce premiums for young adults and increase premiums for older adults. He then played a clip of Ryan saying in 2009, “I don’t think we should pass bills that we haven’t read that we don’t know what they cost”.

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland says the House vote to repeal and replace Obamacare “will have devastating consequences for hard-working families and is an absolute betrayal of everything we stand for as Americans”.

The Vermont lawmaker and former presidential candidate claimed the Obamacare replacement provides billions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest 2%.

Individuals would no longer be penalized for failing to have health insurance coverage.

In the interview, Meehan noted that he voted the bill out of the House Ways and Means Committee. The new plan includes an extra $8 billion to help people with pre-existing conditions if Obamacare is repealed.

The bill passed the House 217-213, with all 193 Democrats and 20 Republicans voting against it.

U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., called the bill “disastrous”, said he has a great deal of respect for Upton, but $8 billion wouldn’t be almost enough to cover the increased premiums faced by people with pre-existing conditions who let their coverage lapse.

“We want to brag about the plan”, Trump said at a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House.

“I’d like to see it amended in ways that it obviously needs to be especially in terms of the cost control but not repeal and replace, that’s a campaign promise that’s not a plan”, said Baltimore resident Michael White.
