Despite many evident shortcomings in a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act health care law, Republicans have a responsibility to pass it, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Wednesday.

..........................................

“You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn’t be considered,” Grassley said. “But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That’s pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill.”
...........................................

The Graham-Cassidy proposal would make over major parts of the American health care system, directing funding for the Medicaid health care program and other federal health care dollars into block grants handed over to the states on a per-capita basis.

States would have wide latitude in shaping health care benefits for residents, and could allow insurers to charge higher rates for sick patients and stop covering benefits currently required under federal law.
