A White House official says the GOP Health Care Bill is getting close to a full Senate vote.
Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short appeared for an interview on Sunday and said the President is continuing to reach out to Senators to rally support for the American Health Care Act.
Short says the Republican package lowers premium costs and provides better quality of care.
When pressed on whether the bill has enough votes to pass the Senate, Short only said the White House anticipates a vote in the near future.
“We got it completed and passed through the House. We are now in the Senate where there is obviously a lot of procedural delays, we’re at the point of scoring two different bills throughout the course of this recess week. So we hope that when we come back the week after recess we will have a vote,” he said.
Short also slammed the CBO score for being unreliable.
He added the report should be questioned for its past failures predicting the outcomes of key legislation.
