Gohmert on Latest Repeal and Replace Issues

EAST TEXAS — As the U.S. Senate struggles to come up with a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, many Republicans in the house are waiting impatiently. East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert says the proposed senate bill leaves a lot to be desired. He told Fox News, “The Senate, all this time later and they come out with a bill that is not popular enough, because according to people I trust, we’re leaving all of Obamacare in place.” He said, “The premiums aren’t going to come down, the deductibles aren’t going to come down.” But U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Utah Senator Mike Lee are offering what they call the “consumer freedom option” to the Senate Health Care Bill. They said it would lower premiums through more choices and competition.
