WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 -- Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, issued the following statement on President Trump's health care executive order:

"I applaud President Trump's actions to provide relief for hardworking American families that continue to struggle under the skyrocketing costs and shrinking options of Obamacare.

"This executive order is a good first step to expand access, create more competition and make health care more affordable.
