Messer wants to cancel Easter break for Congress

Indiana Sixth District Rep. Luke Messer is calling on Congress to forgo its Easter recess, in order to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Messer joined members of House Republican Leadership Thursday to announce an amendment to the American Health Care Act. Messer says the amendment “safeguards patients with pre-existing conditions in a way that will also lower premiums.”

The Palmer-Schweikert amendment creates a $15 billion Federal Invisible Risk Sharing Program. The program is designed to help states reduce healthcare premiums by reimbursing health insurance issuers for high cost individuals, beginning in 2018.
