I’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU some of what I’ve been working on in Tennessee and
Washington recently:
January will be a busy month in Washington. The committee
that I chair will be holding confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump’s
cabinet nominees for Secretary of Education and Secretary of Labor. We are
moving immediately to provide relief from the Obamacare emergency that has the
Tennessee exchange “near collapse” and is forcing Tennesseans to pay 44 to 62
percent more in health insurance premiums. I believe Congress and the
Administration should work to repeal and replace at the same time, and to avoid
the historic mistakes of Obamacare, replacement should be implemented
step-by-step to minimize disruptions and make sure the changes in the system
work well.
*******
A good, brief report on the things that matter to Tennesseans. We are especially concerned about out-of-control health care premiums and the 'near collapse' of the state exchange. We all need and want relief from this terrible law as soon as possible.
