"Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) told CNN that he had a recent phone call with President Trump who made it clear he doesn't want to hurt people. His concern is, is there something better we can do? Van Drew said, adding that he told the president, I don't think we're going to get it done in a matter of weeks."
"MAGA Republican Sen. Josh Hawley (MO) is also sounding the alarm about how unaffordable health care has become for average Americans and that his party needs to do something about it. If we don't do anything their premiums are gonna almost double. They're too high right now. We're talking about working people, Hawley said. So it's just, we've got to do something. This is totally unaffordable."
Republican lawmakers are pressing for a concrete plan to lower health care costs and to preserve Affordable Care Act tax credits scheduled to lapse under parts of President Donald Trump’s plan, warning of significant premium increases for working-class families. Rep. Jeff Van Drew reported a recent phone call with the president and expressed skepticism that a replacement could be enacted within weeks, calling failure to act both morally unjust and politically unwise. Sen. Josh Hawley warned that premiums could nearly double if no action is taken. Sen. Bill Cassidy emphasized ongoing efforts to find solutions and cited November 1 ACA open enrollment as a critical deadline.
