Congressman Katko Against His Party's Healthcare Plan

Republican Congressman John Katko says he does not support his party's proposed plan to replace the Affordable Care Act.

Katko says while he believes the ACA is a failure, the current proposal is not enough.

He says the plan does not address what he calls out-of-control costs and does not provide adequate insurance options.

Still, Katko does believe the plan has some promising reforms.

He said in a statement in part, “The Administration and Leaders in Congress deserve credit for starting this process.  But we should take the time to ensure a viable market-based alternative to Obamacare is ready simultaneous with the repeal. I believe we can get there.”
