ICYMI: RNC Chairwoman McDaniel: The Time To Act On Health Care Reform Is Now

 

Obamacare is failing Americans

CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: We are seeing it right now in Congress with this push through the Senate for the Graham- Cassidy - the recognition that Americans are failing under Obamacare. It is suffering. Forty-five percent of the counties in this country by 2018 will have one carrier or no carrier and Republicans are working as hard as they can to bring relief to the American people but also deliver on a campaign promise that we ran on. So I feel really good about this bill. I hope we can push this through, block granting, the money to the states, letting the state's craft a state-specific solution. Let Republican governors deal with it, Democrat governors deal with it. It's a bipartisan solution, but it's also the best way to help the American people.

President Trump is delivering results for the American people

CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: I understand why the president's doing it because he's saying I'm results-driven. Whatever's best for the American people, I'm going to do and if I have to work across party lines, which I think actually a lot of people want to see more of. They're saying -- he's saying we're going to get it done because at the end of the day, I need to deliver for the people who elected me, and that's exactly why people in my state of Michigan look to Donald Trump and said we need to elect him to be our next president, because the status quo in Washington is not working.

We need to seize this opportunity for the American people
 
CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: As the party chair, I'm very concerned about 2018 and the midterms because it is the Senate and the House and if we lose majority, we're not going to be voting on repealing or replacing Obamacare, we're going to be voting on single-payer and you look at what Bernie Sanders has put forward, it will destroy our health care system, it will cost $32 trillion dollars, it will decimate our country. Republicans have an opportunity right now. Please seize it. Give the president a majority for his final two years of his first term. We need to act for the American people and this is our time, take that opportunity.
