Neal Statement on Trump’s Latest Health Care Failure

SPRINGFIELD, MA— Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Trump Administration met the final day of Open Enrollment with the empty action of a fact sheet: 

“Today’s announcement is more of the same bluster, with zero substance, that Republicans have been peddling since the inception of the ACA. Under Trump, hospitals are shuttering, premiums are soaring, everything from insulin to medical supplies costs more, yet CEOs are getting sweetheart deals. If Republicans were serious about lowering costs, the workable solution House Democrats sent to the Senate last week would already be law. Instead, they resort to flooding the zone with empty promises while the people are forced to pay more and get less.”
