Iowa Republican Representative Rod Blum said Tuesday he will not support the House GOP’s health care plan in its current form.
The 1st District congressman tweeted that the American Health Care Act “doesn’t do enough to lower premiums for hardworking Americans.”
The repeal and replacement of much of Obamacare is supposed to get a vote on the House floor on Thursday. Dozens of Republican House members oppose the bill or have expressed major concerns.
President Trump met with House Republicans Tuesday to urge them to pass the health care bill.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is the only member of Iowa’s congressional delegation to come out in support of the bill thus far.
#AHCA doesn't do enough to lower premiums for hardworking Americans. I'm a "no" on current version - need to drive down actual costs! #IA01
