Chris Collins on ObamaCare Repeal: We’re Not Pulling the Rug Out from Anyone

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: "You know, we are going to have to bring those all together to have one final product. We are going to spend a lot of time talking to the governors. Certainly some of the Republican governors that have taken advantage of the Medicaid expansion. There is a lot of work to do but our message to America is this disastrous plan called ObamaCare with 12,000 deductibles for a bronze plan that effectively means you’re buying a product you don’t want to buy, it doesn’t do any good for an American family to have a 12,000 dollar deductible. So immediately what we are saying we are not going to pull the rug out from anyone. There is not going to be any changes in 2017. There is not going to be changes in 2018. Those products are already — have already been approved by the state insurance agencies or for the 2018 time are in negotiation right now. So we are talking about new plans in 2019 or later that will be more affordable -- let patients pick their doctors, we'll have to figure out exactly how we make sure that Americans are not disadvantaged and that is a promise we have made. We are going to pull the rug out from under anyone. So there is no reason to worry the next two years."
