Washington, DC – This afternoon, U.S. Representative Will Hurd released the following statement regarding the American Health Care Act (AHCA):

“Under our current healthcare system, millions of American families and small businesses still don’t have access to the healthcare they need.  I respect the efforts that Speaker Ryan and House Republicans made by putting forward a proposal to try and address these issues. Unfortunately, the AHCA in its current form created new challenges. After listening to constituents and experts in the healthcare community, I am hopeful that we can go back to the drawing board and fix our broken healthcare system.  We must get this right. The lives of Americans depend on it.”
