GOP Rep: We Don't Deserve Recess Until We Finish Our Work on Health Care

March 31, 2017

GOP Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said he and dozens of members of Congress are willing to delay recess until they complete their work on repealing the Affordable Care Act.

"Think about it, we're 70 days into the Donald Trump presidency and we haven't put a single substantive piece of legislation on his desk," Gaetz told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "You know we have botched the Obamacare repeal, we haven't done tax reform, we haven't done anything on immigration, and people think we deserve a vacation — that's ludicrous."
