Pittsburgh Congressman Mike Doyle says he will fight the President's proposed health care plan, and he said he thinks there's a 50-50 chance of defeating it. Doyle hosted a town hall meeting today at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Oakland. That's where he defended President Obama's Affordable Care Act. Doyle says he will lobby members of Congress to vote against President Trump's new "American Health Care Act." "Individuals are still going to get sick," Doyle said to the auditorium at the meeting which began at 2 p.m. today. "They are still going to be involved in accidents. They are still going to end up in the healthcare system. And those individuals who decide not to buy insurance and find themselves in the health care system because they were in a car accident or whatever. That becomes like the old days, uncompensated care, and who do you think pays for uncompensated care?" Among other things, the newly proposed American Health Care Act would limit federal spending on Medicaid going forward. The Congressional Budget Office says it would cut $880 billion from Medicaid spending through 2026.
