Charleston,
SC
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
in
support
of
the
Cassidy-Graham
health
care
bill.
“Our
great
nation
is
home
to
more
than
320
million
people
spread
across
almost
four
million
square
miles.
We
have
states
with
nearly
40
million
people,
and
states
with
less
than
600,000
people.
To
try
and
dictate
health
care
policy
from
Washington,
D.C.
simply
does
not
make
sense.
That’s
why
I
support
the
Cassidy-Graham
solution
to
empower
states
to
make
choices
for
their
people
based
on
their
specific
health
care
needs
and
trends.
South
Carolina
faces
different
challenges
than
Oregon,
so
why
would
we
try
and
force
a
one-size-fits-all
system
on
them
both?
The
fact
remains
that
Obamacare
is
failing
the
American
people.
Skyrocketing
premiums,
high
deductibles
and
overall
uncertainty
in
the
marketplace
means
we
need
a
new
solution.
By
block
granting
money
directly
to
states,
we
take
a
significant
step
forward
in
putting
our
health
care
system
back
in
the
hands
of
patients
and
their
doctors
while
still
protecting
people
with
pre-existing
conditions,
repealing
the
individual
mandate
and
stopping
some
burdensome
Obamacare
taxes.
I’m
on
board
–
now
let’s
go
get
the
votes!”
