DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — Sen. Mike Lee recently announced his next town hall meeting will be on the topic of health care. The Live Access event held over the phone and streamed live will occur Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Lee and four other GOP senators came out in opposition of the “Better Care Reconciliation Act” just hours after it was released June 22 as a Senate Republican proposal to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law.
In response to the delayed vote on the bill in the Senate on June 27, Lee said:
The first draft of the bill included hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts for the affluent, bailouts for insurance companies, and subsidies for lower-income Americans. But it ignored the middle-class families who have borne the brunt of Obamacare, and who have been left behind by both parties in Washington for too long. That’s why I opposed it. And it’s why I’m happy we postponed the vote today.
