Rep. Hollingsworth Issues Statement on the American Health Care Act

WASHINGTON, March 10 -- Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-Ind., issued the following statement on American Health Care Act:

"Obamacare drastically failed to meet the promises that were made to the American people: premiums skyrocketed, choices plummeted, and many families were jettisoned from their plans. Hoosiers sent me to Washington, D.C. with the mandate to repeal this disastrous legislation.

"I am diligently studying the American Health Care Act as well as speaking with fellow Hoosiers about this proposed replacement. Any viable plan needs to ensure that coverage is actually affordable and embraces a free market system where providers compete for our business.

"I encourage any constituents who have an opinion about this bill to reach out to their Congressional office and share that view with me."
