Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, on the new GOP tax plan:
“Here we go again. The GOP has added a provision to their tax plan that will cause health care premiums to go up 10 percent and 13 million Americans to lose their health coverage. We should be working together to find ways to cut taxes for hardworking middle-class families, not taking health care away from millions of people just to give huge tax cuts to the largest corporations.”
Below is a video of Nelson’s remarks during today’s Finance Committee hearing on the tax bill.
