Vela Releases Statement on the Passage of the AHCA 

Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. Filemon Vela (D-TX) released the following statement on the passing of the American Health Care Act:

“ The GOP has jammed an absolutely horrendous TrumpCare bill down the throats of the American people.  The bill was finalized and brought to the floor for a vote in fewer than 24 hours without a non-partisan CBO (Congressional Budget Office) score that would tell us how many people would lose healthcare or how much it will cost the taxpayers.  The bill discriminates against people with pre-existing conditions (asthma, cancer, diabetes, pregnant women, hypertension, etc.) and will result in outrageously high premiums that many will simply not be able to afford"
