HOW GOP'S NEWLY PROPOSED HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN IS UNACCEPTABLE BY ALL! (1308 hits)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
Rep. Mark Meadows, head of the influential conservative House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News' Sean Hannity that the AHCA "sets a new entitlement, keeps some taxes, doesn't repeal all of Obamacare." Meadows emphasized that the bill did not go far enough.
"We've got to do better, and hopefully with some new amendments we can do that," Meadows said.
In the same interview with Hannity, Rep. Louie Gohmert, a conservative firebrand who is not a part of the House Freedom Caucus, criticized the bill and said he had already heard concerns from constituents.
The House Freedom Caucus is expected to hold a press conference at 3:30 p.m. ET to lodge complaints about the bill, according to Politico. If all Democrats vote their party line, the House GOP could not afford to lose the Freedom Caucus membership.
