HOEVEN STATEMENT ON CONTINUED WORK ON HEALTH CARE REFORM LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON - Senator John Hoeven released the following statement after the Senate leadership announced that they will continue to work:

"Obamacare has raised costs and limited health care options for families in North Dakota and across the nation. We need to make reforms in order to provide greater access to health care and more affordable health insurance. As I said yesterday, the CBO report shows that we have more work to do. I have concerns about the Senate draft legislation, but will continue working to improve it to help ensure that it provides a smooth transition away from Obamacare and toward a health care system that provides greater access to health coverage for low-income individuals either through Medicaid or tax credits based on age and income that will make health insurance more affordable."
