WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jason Lewis (MN-02) issued the following statement after voting for the American Health Care Act (AHCA) in a Budget Committee markup. The bill was reported favorably out of the committee and now awaits consideration by the Rules Committee prior to coming to the Floor for a vote:
“Today the House Budget Committee passed the first step towards returning health care choices to families in Minnesota’s 2nd District. I’m proud to be keeping my promise to start real health care reform. The American Health Care Act is about lowering premiums, giving universal access to quality care, and letting the patient choose a plan that works, not the plan government thinks they should have. I look forward to continuing to work for all the Minnesotans who have been hit so hard by Obamacare.”
