Tom Price: Trump's health care promises will be true down the line
http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/19/politics/tom-price-health-care/"The plan in its entirety is the one that the President has ensured the American people every single American will have access to affordable coverage that works for them," Price said.
On the campaign trail, Trump said the government would pay for health care for those who need it, and before his inauguration he promised "insurance for everybody." However, the Congressional Budget Office and other observers, such as the Brookings Institution, have said the GOP bill to repeal and replace part of Obamacare would leave millions uncovered.
Price disputed the relevance of the reports, saying Sunday that both he and the President were "committed" to the concept of insurance for all. The former Georgia lawmaker stressed that the passage of the bill on which those reports are based would be just one of three steps, the second two being administrative reforms and the passage of other legislation dealing with health care outside of the American Health Care Act.
"This bill that's moving through Congress right now is simply the first step," Price said. "Every American will have access to the kind of coverage that they want."
Sorry Bud. Hold off on all three steps until you can do all three by passing a REAL BILL! Don't give me this crap about "two steps later". I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!
