Sen. Cotton Issues Statement on American Health Care Act

WASHINGTON, March 21 -- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., issued the following statement on the proposed amendments to the American Health Care Act:

"Despite the proposed amendments, I still cannot support the House health-care bill, nor would it pass the Senate.

"The amendments improve the Medicaid reforms in the original bill, but do little to address the core problem of Obamacare: rising premiums and deductibles, which are making insurance unaffordable for too many Arkansans. The House should continue its work on this bill.

"It's more important to finally get health-care reform right than to get it fast."
