Sen. Mike Lee to Vote No on Senate Health Bill

WASHINGTON, July 17 -- The office of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, issued the following statement regarding the Better Care Reconciliation Act:

"After conferring with trusted experts regarding the latest version of the Consumer Freedom Amendment, I have decided I cannot support the current version of the Better Care Reconciliation Act.

"In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn't go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations."
