Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) on the revised Republican health care bill released today:
“This latest Republican health care bill is just as bad as the previous versions. It makes huge cuts to Medicaid, allows insurance companies to hike rates for older Americans and will take coverage away from millions of people. We need to be working together to improve our nation’s health care system, not make it worse. If approved, this bill will hurt a lot of Floridians and for that reason alone, I will oppose it.”
