Tenney, GOP Vote Yes On American Health Care Act

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney voted in favor of the American Health Care Act that passed in the House today.

Tenney says it's time to fix our broken healthcare system and provide relief to families struggling under Obamacare.

She says Upstate New Yorkers deserve health care options that empower them, their families and their doctors, while preserving coverage protections and peace of mind

The Congresswoman says the bill eliminates the individual and employer mandates, which have forced too many Americans to purchase plans they do not want, while burdening our local employers with costly mandates, causing many businesses close, or lay off employees.

Tenney also says even though the American Health Care Act is not a perfect piece of legislation, it's the first step in a comprehensive process to bring choice, affordability, and quality back to health care.

The GOP health care bill passed by a vote of 217 to 213.
