Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly released the following statement Tuesday morning about the Senate health care debate, after Leader Mitch McConnell announced the Senate would move forward with a vote to repeal health care with no replacement.
Donnelly said, “The proposed Senate health care bill would have been disastrous for Hoosiers. The latest plan to repeal without any replacement is downright reckless, playing politics with the health and economic well-being of millions of American families. It is time to do the hard work of forging a bipartisan bill to strengthen our current healthcare system, so that we can reduce costs for Hoosier families, continue to protect people with pre-existing conditions, and preserve the good work states like Indiana have done to expand affordable health care. The American people are counting on us to take a thoughtful approach together, and I urge the Senate to take this path in the coming days.”
