Cramer Opposes Budget Deal's "Obamacare of Crop Insurance"
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Congressman Kevin Cramer released the following statement after the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was released to the public early this morning. View the text of the act here.
I cannot support the bill because it is a breach of the carefully negotiated 2014 Farm Bill. The White House's intent to re-open the Farm Bill and create a single payer "Obamacare of Crop Insurance" is unacceptable to me and many members of Congress. I am committed to working with House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway and his committee to find the $3 billion in savings in other areas of the government.
