Congressman John Shimkus is pleased with the vote in which the House approved legislation Thursday to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. It is more commonly known as Obamacare.
‘’For seven years, I’ve fought to repeal all of Obamacare’s mandates, middle class taxes, abortion subsidies, insurance company bailouts, and unaffordable, one-size-fits-all health insurance plans,’’ said Shimkus. ‘’I also assured my constituents that our replacement would include protections for patients with pre-existing conditions. My vote today does all of the above,’’ added Shimkus.
‘’Passage of the American Health Care Act is a win for President Trump, but more importantly it’s a win for the millions of Americans who are forced to buy a product they can’t afford to use,’’ added Representative Shimkus. ‘’The AHCA will empower states to offer, and patients to choose from, a broader range of affordable insurance plans that better fit each individual and family’s unique needs.’’
