Pallone on Leaked House GOP Healthcare Proposal

February 24, 2017

“This is a cruel proposal that would rip healthcare away from millions of Americans”

Washington, D.C. – Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) issued the following statement today upon review of a leaked copy of the House Republican's healthcare proposal:

"At virtually the same time President Trump was promising a ‘better plan' that would lower healthcare costs, a leaked Republican health care proposal shows that Americans would pay more for less. This is a cruel proposal that would rip healthcare away from millions of Americans, ration care for families and seniors, and put insurance companies back in charge. The plan pushes more costs onto working families while giving large tax breaks to the wealthy. It would be a disaster for Americans and create chaos in our healthcare system."
