Washington, D.C. – Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) today praised President Donald Trump’s executive order on health care:
“Given the Senate’s inability to pass health care reform, President Trump is right to take action to bring relief from Obamacare mandates and give consumers more choices. Obamacare continues to fail, and in Indiana premiums continue to climb while more than half of Hoosier counties have only one insurance option in the Obamacare exchange. The President’s executive order gives Americans relief on multiple fronts, allows them to purchase health insurance across state lines and expands their ability to purchase cheaper plans. This executive order does not absolve Congress of its responsibility to legislate, and congressional efforts to reform our health care system must continue.”
