House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy revealed the top four priorities on the House legislative agenda for the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency, putting the end of Obamacare at the top of the list.
“We’re going to repeal Obamacare and replace it,” the Republican leader said in an interview with John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York.
McCarthy said the Obamacare replacement will “allow people to actually have a better relationship with their doctor, not have ‘one size fits all.'”
House Republicans’ second priority is regulation reform.
McCarthy criticized the number and cost of regulations during the Obama administration. He touted the Reins Act, which forces all new major regulations to be approved by Congress.
“The challenge here is, you’ve got to get the country moving and working again, so you see reform going forward,” he said of the regulation reform.
McCarthy said the final two priorities are tax reform and infrastructure.
“You’ve got to get the economic engine of America growing again, so the middle class can grow again, and to me, that’s tax reform,” he said.
“You got to make sure that America has the infrastructure in the 21st century to be able to compete.”
