KINGSTON – Rep. John Faso told about 100 people Monday the House Republican health-care bill keeps the best of Obamacare and then, to top it off, lowers costs for everyone.

“I think we are building on the experience of the ACA (Obamacare) in many respects. It is not being junked,” Faso, a Republican from Kinderhook, said at the Kingston Library.

“But it is vitally important that we take action to lower premiums and deductibles ... so people can afford it,” he said.

It is hard to say if Faso made any converts to his position at the forum.
