Sen. Chuck Grassley made the following comment on July 28th regarding the Obamacare repeal and replace outcome.
“The result is disappointing. The health care situation is the same as before. Obamacare has not delivered on its promises and is failing. Those who have access to insurance often can’t afford to use it because of sky-high deductibles, premiums and co-payments. Because of Obamacare’s failures, 72,000 Iowans don’t know if they’ll be able to afford health insurance next year. Only one insurer will stay in the exchanges and plans premium increases of 43 percent on average, on top of big increases this year. The state of Iowa has a proposal pending with the federal government to try to save coverage for those individuals. Longer term, I’ll continue to work for access to affordable health care by promoting the free market, supporting efforts to decrease the costs of prescription drugs, and making sure Medicare and Medicaid continue to be available to those who need them. The American people deserve better than Obamacare’s failures.”
