Rep. Fleischmann Issues Statement on Healthcare Vote

WASHINGTON, May 4 -- Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., issued the following statement on his healthcare vote:

"For far too long Obamacare has hurt American families by not keeping its promises of lowering costs, while increasing patient choice.

"That is why I voted in favor of the American Healthcare Act. This bill will reduce premiums, stabilize the market, and ensure patient choice. While there is more work ahead to rebuild our broken healthcare system, passing this legislation was a critical first step.

"I look forward to collaborating with my Senate colleagues to give the American people the healthcare they deserve," said Fleischmann.
