Womack Statement on Healthcare Stall

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-03) today released the following statement regarding the struggles to pass healthcare legislation through both houses:

"Early this morning, the Senate failed in delivering a healthcare bill that would rid the country of the collapsing Obamacare mandates. I am deeply saddened that we have come to this point as a Congress. With an unfinished budget and eight stalled appropriations bills left to pass in the House alone, this is not the time to be taking a break for August recess.

How will we ever move forward to other congressional priorities such as tax reform if we don't address these issues head-on, now? It is imperative for us to act -- rather than sitting and waiting on the upper chamber, we must work as a unified conference at least in the House to not only deliver meaningful legislation, but to deliver real results for the American people. America deserves it. Arkansas deserves it."
