Rep. Newhouse Issues Statement on Senate Health Care Vote

WASHINGTON, July 28 -- Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., issued the following statement on the Senate's vote on the health care legislation:

"I am deeply disappointed that after the House passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, the Senate failed to send any proposal in return for a conference.

"For families facing higher insurance premiums and fewer options, nothing has changed: the Affordable Care Act is still broken, and leaving it in place as is will not fix it.

"The status quo is unsustainable and unacceptable, and I will continue to work in Congress to fix our health care system for families in Central Washington."
