WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) and Health Subcommittee Chairman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX) today issued the following statement following the administration’s action to deliver much-needed relief:

“Today’s action by President Trump is welcome news for the many Americans relying on Affordable Care Act plans that are quickly becoming unaffordable. With 1,524 counties across the country - nearly 50 percent of all counties - having only one health care provider option under Obamacare next benefit year, today’s action will set the table for more affordable options for consumers."
