Rep. Kaptur Issues Statement on Anthem Leaving Ohio Health Care Exchange

WASHINGTON, June 8 -- Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, issued the following statement:

"The recent move by Anthem to leave the health care exchange could cause real harm to the people of Ohio. Congress should be working together to build on the Affordable Care Act and address issues, but sadly President Trump and Republicans in Congress are intent on pushing their harmful bill that doesn't fix the issues Americans are facing every day.

"Ohio isn't the only state experiencing challenges, so we should we work in a bipartisan way to make sure all Americans can get quality, affordable insurance.
