“This closed-door process has yielded the [bill], which fails to repeal the Affordable Care Act or address healthcare’s rising costs. For the same reasons I could not support the previous version of this bill, I cannot support this one,” Moran said in a statement.Lee added on Twitter that “my colleague @JerryMoran and I will not support the MTP to this version of BCRA.”
