Sen. Cruz: We Must Deliver On Our Promise to Make Health Care More Affordable
‘Our work now goes forward in the Senate, where we should continue to improve the bill’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement regarding the American Health Care Act, passed today by the U.S. House of Representatives:
“Today was an important step. I am encouraged that House Republicans were able to come together and pass a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. The House Freedom Caucus pressed hard to reduce premiums and make health care more affordable, and their efforts, in cooperation with the entire conference, substantially improved this bill.
“Our work now goes forward in the Senate, where we should continue to improve the bill. For many weeks, I have been working closely with my Senate colleagues, from across the ideological spectrum, on consensus reforms to make health insurance more affordable. We must deliver on that promise. I am optimistic we will get the job done, and honor our commitment to provide more choices for consumers, put people in control of their healthcare, and most importantly, lower premiums."
