Press Releases

Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement blasting the decoy legislation put out by House Republicans ahead of their Tuesday markup: 

“Releasing this bill under the cover of darkness, omitting major provisions, the only marker that this is Republican marquee legislation are the tax cuts for billionaires. I wasn’t so naive as to think they would give the American people as much time as possible to review their plan, but with how much is missing from this bill, it’s a new low. If you believe in what you are setting out to do, do it when the people are watching. 

“I’ll tell you what’s coming: handouts for billionaires, health care cuts for the people.”
