Senator Bob Corker on Thursday said he will closely analyze the discussion draft of the Senate health care legislation.
He said, “Under the current health care system, families in Tennessee and across our country face rising costs and have limited choices.
“Congress has a responsibility to resolve these issues and stabilize the individual insurance market, and over the next several days, I will take time to fully review the legislative text and seek input from a wide range of stakeholders across our state.
I will make a final decision based on whether this legislation, on the whole, is better than what is in place today.”
Tennesseans who wish to read the discussion draft and provide input to Senator Corker can do so at corker.senate.gov.
Senator David Perdue said, “After reviewing the initial working draft, I believe it includes many substantial fixes to our broken health care system. Obamacare is the law of the land and collapsing under its own weight, and now we are closer than ever before to delivering real relief to millions of Americans struggling under the current system. Obviously, this will not be the final bill, but I’m hopeful that we can resolve the remaining disagreements and deliver a consensus bill that is a vast improvement over Obamacare."
