Fla. Republican Gus Bilirakis concerned on Obamacare replacement

Published March 20, 2017 7:41pm ET



A Florida moderate became the latest Republican to call for boosting tax credits for seniors in the GOP plan to repeal Obamacare.

Rep. Gus Bilirakis said Monday that the American Health Care Act is the best answer to replace the “unsustainable” Obamacare, but “more must be done within the bill to help Americans in their 50s and 60s with healthcare costs.” Bilirakis is the latest moderate to voice concerns about the high cost of insurance premiums for seniors not old enough for Medicare.
