Jones plans to vote against GOP health bill

From there, Trump went on to merely complain that Democrats “hate the Republicans so badly that they can not see straight, so they’re always going to vote against us”.

Republicans remain deeply divided over their USA healthcare overhaul, which is Trump’s first major legislative initiative and aims to fulfill his campaign pledge to repeal and replace the healthcare program of his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama.

It’s been 10 days since House Republicans introduced the American Health Care Act (AHCA), a bill that looks to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

It landed as Republican moderates and conservatives in the House remained split, and senators expressed reservations.

A children’s advocacy organization contends the American Health Care Act – the proposed replacement for Obamacare – would be devastating for youngsters in NY who are covered through Medicaid and the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program.

There seems to be too much opposition for too many different reasons for Republicans to overcome.

The push to cut even more puts House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump in a bind. In Washington, for example, state officials say they would have to come up with $1.5 billion a year starting in 2020 to keep coverage in place for about 600,000 residents who gained coverage through the Medicaid expansion that was a key part of Obama’s health care law.

Lawmakers said the two sides agreed to additional restrictions on Medicaid that states would be allowed to choose.

As the GOP bill, the American Health Care Act, works its way through Congress, Anne Dunkelberg with the left-leaning Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin says she’s a little stumped. “Sometimes we ask them to do stuff they’re not capable of doing, and estimating the impact of a bill of this size probably isn’t the best use of their time”. The aforementioned ME senator is already a “no” vote on the bill, and other moderate Republican senators have demanded that the bill adopt more generous subsidies for low-income people.

The Kaiser Family Foundation, a pro-Obamacare organization, says that people in 5 states had only had one insurance company offering plans through the exchanges.

The Trump administration disputes the budget analysis. “If you fall into that middle group, we’re going to provide tax credit so you can go out and buy a plan”.

But some conservative Republicans have issues with the plan, saying it doesn’t go far enough in undoing Obamacare.

Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky is also now on board after the changes promised at the White House meeting.

What will Congress’ healthcare plan mean for Arizonans? “I really don’t have a full grasp of the situation yet”, Boone said.

Trump remarked that most of the members of the meeting were opposed to the bill, but that after the meeting they were ready to support the bill.

He added, “We made certain changes”. New Jersey state Sen.
