Whip Clark Slams GOP’s Latest Attempt To Take Away Health Care

MALDEN, MA - Democratic Whip Katherine Clark issued the following statement in opposition to House Republicans' proposal that hikes health care premiums for working families:

"After months of empty promises, House Republicans unveiled last-minute 'health care' legislation that hikes premiums, provides fewer options, and attacks reproductive freedom.

"Their plan has always been the same: repeal the Affordable Care Act and take health care away from millions of working families. This proposal is a waste of the American people's time and an insult to our constituents who are facing impossible financial decisions this holiday season.

"If this bill comes to the floor, I will be voting no. House Democrats remain committed to our fight against the GOP's health care crisis. If any Republicans are serious about lowering costs, they should sign our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. We only need four to join us."
