Upton, Rush, Murphy, Eshoo Statements at Markup on ACA Replacement

Michigan Congressman Fred Upton says that he has a long record of bipartisanship, that Americans need results and deserve access to quality healthcare and that the Republican healthcare bill will ensure that the rug is not pulled out from beneath them. Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush says that the Republican healthcare bill will wreak havoc on the working poor, that the bill was written in a backroom and kept from the public. Pennsylvania Congressman Tim Murphy says that one of the concerns he heard from so many constituents is that they could not afford insurance deductibles and that it is important to make sure that coverage for mental health stays intact. California Congresswoman Anna Eshoo says that she is disappointed in the process that the American Healthcare Act was introduced, that it was rushed and that it is not scored by the Congressional Budget Office.
