Hoyer Statement on Senate Republicans Not Having the Votes to Bring Up TrumpCare

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement tonight after two additional Senators announced they will not vote to bring the latest Senate TrumpCare bill up for debate:

"With the news that Senate Republican leaders do not have the votes needed to bring their dangerous TrumpCare bill to the Floor to be debated, it is time for them to abandon their failed plan and work with Democrats to address the challenges facing our health care system. Democrats continue to be ready to work in a bipartisan way to improve the Affordable Care Act to ensure that all Americans can access quality, affordable care. I call on Republicans to do the responsible thing and sit down with Democrats to take steps toward achieving this goal."
