Sen. Murray Comments on Study Faulting Trump’s Action to Destabilize Health Care

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 -- Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., ranking Democratic member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, issued the following statement on a new report released by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation finding President Trump's actions to destabilize health care as the leading cause for insurers seeking higher premium increases for 2018:

"Today's new report further underscores the need for Democrats and Republicans to come together to fix the problems and uncertainty President Trump has caused in the health care market.

"I look forward to our upcoming bipartisan HELP committee hearings, where I hope we can prioritize steps to stabilize the market and others to strengthen health care and lower costs for families."
