Handful Of House Health Panelists Support Strong ACA And Device Tax Repeal
Executive Summary
On the roster of the House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means Committees in 2019 are members working toward both support of the Affordable Care Act and repeal of the device tax that helps fund it. Some on the committees, including all of the Democrats, back efforts to strengthen ACA in 2019, while many Democrats declined to repeal the device tax in a key 2018 vote. But 19 members of the panels voted to accomplish both goals.
