Foster Statement on Skinny Repeal Failure

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement on the failure of the skinny repeal in the Senate:

"This result is what happens when you try to pass unpopular legislation behind closed doors with no public transparency," Foster said. "It's also what happens when you try to take away health care from millions of hardworking Americans. I hope that Republicans will now work together with Democrats to strengthen the Affordable Care Act and cease their efforts to sabotage it."
