Peter Welch made the following statement after a vote this afternoon on the Republican majority's health care bill offered by Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI). Where there are problems with the Affordable Care Act, they should be swiftly acknowledged and fixed. It's time for Congress to get about the business of making health care reform work for the American people. I support the President's decision to allow Americans who wish to do so to keep their health insurance plans while health care reforms are implemented.Today, the House Republican majority erred in passing a bill that restores the practice of insurance companies selling unreliable and deceptive policies to their customers.That is a practice long ago banned in Vermont through our progressive insurance reforms. Health insurance should work for you when you need it the most. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
