Rep. Messer Issues Statement in Wake of Anthem, MDwise Leaving Indiana Marketplace

WASHINGTON (Wednesday, June 21, 2017) -- Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) issued the following statement today following announcements from Anthem and MDwise that the companies will no longer sell Obamacare insurance plans in Indiana.

"Today's announcements confirm what most Hoosiers already knew: Obamacare is broken beyond repair. Now, tens of thousands of Hoosiers will be left with few options on the exchange, and some counties may be left with no options at all," Messer said. "Despite the rhetoric of Obamacare's supporters, we must act now to repeal this failed law and rescue Indiana's consumers. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to quickly send legislation back to the House so that we can finally provide relief."

Messer has been a leader in urging Congress to quickly pass legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare, after seven years of promises.

He voted in support of the American Health Care Act, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month. To read Messer's Op Ed on the AHCA, go to: http://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/2017/05/12/american-health-care-act-help-hoosiers/317908001/.
