The Senate Votes on Health Care Today, and President Trump Has Offered 3 OptionsWhat will happen remains to be seen, however, prayer for direction for the Senate is definitely in order.
Following a national address Monday afternoon in which he called out Democrats and Republicans for failing to come up with an alternative to replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, the White House released a statement in which the president encouraged Congress to vote Tuesday to begin debate on a health care bill. The statement offers three different options, all of which he says would provide immediate relief to Americans struggling under the existing laws. Option 1: Pass the House's Bill Option 2: Pass the Senate's Amendment to the House Bill "For months, the administration has supported multiple bills that repeal central parts of Obamacare and include replacement provisions, such as market stability funding and an expansion of Health Savings Accounts," the White House statement reads. "These bills include H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017, and the Senate amendment to H.R. 1628, the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017. Both pieces of legislation fulfill President Trump's promise to provide relief to Americans suffering from the failures of Obamacare and to transition to a better health care system by taking power out of Washington and returning it to the states and to families." Option 3: Pass the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act "H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which passed both chambers in 2015, outlines yet another path to providing relief from Obamacare," the statement added. "This bill repeals Obamacare's damaging individual and employer mandate penalties and its tax increases, while providing a reasonable transition period for the Congress to enact patient-centered healthcare. The administration supports H.R. 3762 as a first step in a multi-step repeal-and-replace process." As Obamacare exchanges continue a collapse that began years ago, the White House added, the president and his administration reiterate that "inaction on health care reform is not an option." "The administration strongly encourages all senators to support the Motion to Proceed to H.R. 1628 and to move forward on repealing Obamacare and replacing it with true reforms that expand choice and lower costs," the statement concluded. In case you missed it, you can watch the president's national address regarding health care held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House.
