Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on Tuesday said he is optimistic that congressional Republicans will be able to make improvements to the Obamacare replacement bill that was introduced on Monday.
“I think amidst the horse excrement we can find a pony around here somewhere,” Gohmert said Tuesday afternoon during a House Freedom Caucus press conference. “And that’s what we’re gonna be looking to have. I think we’ll have a racehorse as long as we get good amendments when we’re done.”
While Gohmert applauded the GOP for producing a bill, he said there are “huge problems” in the current bill, but those can be fixed as long as there is no rule that prevents amendments from being added.
The new bill proposes funding the current Medicaid expansion through the end of 2019, just before Trump runs for re-election.
