Banks Meets With Trump

By Staff Report-

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Third District Congressman Jim Banks Friday issued the following statement after meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House along with other members of the Republican Study Committee.
“It was an honor to meet with President Trump this morning in the Oval Office. I appreciate the president making time to meet with conservatives to hear our concerns about repealing and replacing Obamacare.
“During our discussion, President Trump agreed to several significant conservative changes to the American Health Care Act, including Medicaid block grants, work requirements for Medicaid recipients and important pro-life protections. President Trump personally assured me that he is 100 percent behind this bill and views its passage as a critical priority.
“While this legislation is far from perfect and not the Obamacare replacement plan I had hoped to support, it is a substantial improvement from the mandates, burdens and failures of Obamacare. I committed to President Trump that I would support this plan if it contains the changes we agreed to today. Passing this bill will begin the process of rolling back Obamacare, enacting free market reforms and improving health care for all Americans.”
