"Congress Cannot Keep Writing a Blank Check to Obamacare." Rep. Crank Votes Against ACA Extension, Protects Unborn Lives

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted against the extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. In response, he has issued the following statement:

"I cannot support an extension of the ACA subsidies without serious reform," said Rep. Crank. "Congress cannot keep writing a blank check to Obamacare and slapping a subsidy band-aid on a healthcare system that remains fundamentally unaffordable. Congress needs to focus on real reforms that lower costs, improve and expand competition so consumers have real choices.

“Additionally, I can never support an extension of the ACA subsidies without closing the biggest taxpayer-funded abortion loophole in healthcare. Taxpayer funding of abortions is something I will never be flexible on, and I will continue to fight for protections for the unborn.”
