Charlie Dent: Health Care Amendment ‘Takes Us in the Wrong Direction’
‘Too many Americans will be without coverage’
EXCERPT:
DENT: "Because the underlying bill and now the amendment fail to address the concerns I’ve been raising. There is not a soft enough landing for states like mine that expanded Medicaid. That’s the first issue. There’s insufficient support in my view for too many low and moderate income Americans, they won’t be able to afford insurance. Those are I guess some of my principal concerns. Too many Americans will be without coverage and the underlying amendment does not deal with that. In fact, I would argue that the amendment that’s being proposed actually takes us in the wrong direction and further weakens protection for people with preexisting conditions."
