Press Release

Statement from Rep. Cuellar on the CBO score of the Senate health care bill:

“Today the independent Congressional Budget Office calculated that the Senate health care legislation will leave 22 million more Americans uninsured. My most vulnerable constituents - people with disabilities, older Americans, children, working families - would be hit the hardest. This is unacceptable.

The Affordable Care Act is not perfect, but it has made life better in real ways for so many members of my community in Texas. We need to keep what works and fix what doesn't in a bipartisan way."

The summary of the CBO score is available online: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52849.
