Ted Cruz, Rand Paul speak out on healthcare bill

In an official statement Thursday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz called House passage of the American Health Care Act “an important first step” but also made clear that much work is still needed, saying that he and his Senate colleagues “should continue to improve the bill”.

Cruz also praised the House Freedom Caucus for its hard-fought efforts to ensure that AHCA 2.0 was better than its predecessor – which was withdrawn by Speaker Paul Ryan in March due to lack of support. Though both conservative and moderate House Republicans balked at that first effort, it was the Freedom Caucus that led the fight.

In an interview on the Trey Ware show on Thursday, Cruz acknowledged that “getting it out of the Senate is not going to be easy”.

Senator Rand Paul was far less generous when asked by Neil Cavuto about the new version.
