Cotton: GOP Health-Care Plan ‘Isn’t Going to Work to Bring Down Premiums’

‘I simply think that it’s not going to work to bring down premiums for working Arkansans or working Americans around the country’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COTTON: "Jake, first, let me say I served with Tom Price in the house of representatives and consider him a good friend. He had legislation as a congressman that I think is a lot better than the house bill currently under consideration. The Medicaid expansion I think needs to be part of Medicaid transformation and that's what the house bill moved forward. It can be improved to some degree, but it's about a 70% or 80% solution, Jake. The bigger problem with this legislation is on the private insurance market. I simply think that it's not going to work to bring down premiums for working Arkansans or working Americans around the country. We need to roll our sleeves and fix those problems rear than trying to rush to some arbitrary deadline."
