Health Care
Washington, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Senate released draft legislation to amend Obamacare. Congressman Andy Biggs released the following statement:
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs said Saturday he's ‘bewildered' by fellow House Republicans not keeping their promises on health care, following their vote Thursday to replace ObamaCare.
"They just passed a bill and they're claiming it's a repeal, but it's not a repeal. And they're going to send it to the Senate knowing it's going to be changed," he told Fox News' "America's News Headquarters."
PHOENIX — An Arizona congressman said one reason he did not vote for a Republican health care bill on Thursday is because he was not given ample time to read it.
"I did not get a chance to read those changes, but that was the additional $8 billion in spending that was put in because of the requests of moderates that had bounced off the bill," U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) told KTAR News 92.3 FM's Mac & Gaydos on Thursday.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Andy Biggs released the following statement after voting NO on the American Health Care Act:
Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) submitted two amendments to the American Health Care Act (AHCA). One amendment would allow individuals to purchase health insurance across state lines. The second would allow states to opt out of any or all provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or AHCA without prior Department of Health and Human Services waiver approval. However, these amendments are not included in the final version of the AHCA that the House of Representatives will be voting on later today.
