The National Retail Federation (NRF) issued the following statement from Vice President for Health Care Policy Neil Trautwein, following the Congressional Budget Office’s release of its latest score for the American Health Care Act (AHCA). The score measures the bill’s potential to affect the total number of people with insurance coverage, the increase or decrease in the federal deficit due to the bill and other measures over the next decade:
“The release of the official score on the House-passed American Health Care Act clearly shows that there is a lot of work ahead. Nothing in health reform is ever easy. But, we are still encouraged by the prospects for relief from the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) unnecessary compliance burdens.
“Hopefully, all sides will continue to focus on building a health care system that works best for retail employees and employers.”
