WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin of Maine never revealed how he would’ve voted on the Republican plan to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, but he says he’s happy to see the House take a step back.
President Donald Trump and GOP leaders canceled a vote on the bill Friday, delivering a blow to the president a day after he’d demanded a vote.
Poliquin said afterward that all legislation, especially important policy changes, “must have enough time to be thoroughly reviewed by the American people and all lawmakers of all political parties.”
Poliquin said that he has pushed to ensure those nearing retirement and in rural areas are protected in any replacement for President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law.
