Senator Flake Supporting Graham-Cassidy Bill

Arizona's U.S. Senators are divided when it comes to the Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill.  Speaking to reporters Friday, Junior Senator Jeff Flake said he believes the latest GOP healthcare reform measure is the first step in an effort to implement a bipartisan healthcare plan. “I’ve voted against Obamacare more than 30 times, and Graham-Cassidy is the best shot I’ve seen for a repeal and replace bill to get signed into law. I have the utmost respect for Senator McCain but I disagree with him on this bill, which is supported by Governor Ducey. Graham-Cassidy will give Arizona the flexibility it needs to innovate and lower premiums while maintaining protections to ensure access to quality, affordable care for individuals with preexisting conditions" said Flake.  The Senator said Arizona is ground zero for the failure of the healthcare exchange to hold down prices.  He added in every county in the state the average family of four is paying for more their healthcare insurance than they are for their mortgage.  "Arizonans are hurting; they’re counting on us to get repeal and replace across the finish line, and I won’t give up until the job is done.”
