If the Senate passes a bill that guts Medicaid even more than the House proposal, those senators could face a lot of heat in the 2020 election cycle.
In its own letter to Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate, the American Medical Association warned that "significant changes to the [Affordable Care Act] or Medicaid programs potentially threaten the ability for millions of Americans to obtain and retain coverage". More importantly, if they wanted a better bill, then they should have withheld their vote until improvements were made.
Jones explained he opposed the bill on both substantive and procedural grounds.
In New Hampshire, the health insurance market is relatively healthy, with four insurers in the HealthCare.gov exchange and relatively low premium increases, the state Insurance Department said in emailed answers to a list of questions.
Jones also expressed concerns the bill could cause strain for states trying to care for very sick individuals. Nobody wants to go back to when you couldn't get coverage because of a preexisting condition.
Ultimately, said Grassley, Republicans have no choice but to come together on a health care legislation because they've promised for years to repeal Obamacare.
But our health-care system doesn't have to be this way, and the American Health Care Act (AHCA) is the first step in providing relief to the American people from a health-care system in collapse.

Beijing is now hosting a trade and infrastructure summit with various world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. North Korea claimed the missile is capable of being armed with a nuclear warhead.
"If we do nothing, premiums will go far, far, far higher than they would otherwise go up". The district placed about 400 Medicaid reimbursement orders past year, most of which paid for health screenings or audio equipment for hearing-impaired students, Roy said.
Jones also said he objected to the House not including tax credits for military veterans who choose to seek coverage outside of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has invited all Republicans to join with the Senate group crafting the bill.
"I don't want maternity care", Perry said during a recent meeting with Alissa Packer from Indivisible Action PA 4th and insurance actuary Stephanie Gray.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen wrote, "There's bipartisan opposition to this disastrous legislation in the Senate, and I intend to work across the aisle to stop this plan in its tracks".
The fact is under Senate rules, there are still major questions about how numerous Obamacare regulations can actually be repealed through budget reconciliation, the process the Senate is using that allows them to pass a repeal bill with just 51 votes instead of 60.
Even though the House plan lowers the subsidies, Paul said in an interview on Fox News he's "not that interested in subsidizing the profits of insurance companies". Toomey is among the Republicans leading the charge. Elizabeth Warren is faulting Republicans for blocking Democrats from negotiations on the Senate version of a healthcare overhaul bill.
