The U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act Thursday afternoon with support from seven of Indiana's Republican representatives.
But as NPR reports, the bill is likely never to become law, at least as currently written, because the Senate is expected to make significant changes.
The bill includes last-minute amendments designed to draw votes from the most conservative House Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus as well as from their more moderate counterparts.
Here's how each of Indiana's nine Representatives voted on the measure:
In Favor:
Jackie Walorski: Republican, 2nd District
"This bill ends Obamacare's burdensome taxes and mandates, including a permanent repeal of the job-killing medical device tax that harmed innovative manufacturers and their employees across Indiana," Walorski said in a statement after the vote. "It protects life by stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. And with today's passage of additional legislation I co-sponsored, it will treat Members of Congress the same as everyone else."
Jim Banks: Republican, 3rd District
In an infographic created by Banks' office, the Republican praises various aspects of the AHCA, including redirecting money from Planned Parenthood to Community Health Care Centers, tax cuts and permanently repealing the medical device tax.
Todd Rokita: Republican, 4th District
"Whether piece by piece, or all at once, I will continue fighting to repeal the insidious Obamacare law because it has hurt so many people," Rokita said in a statement after the vote. "Many, many more than it ever pretended to help. I'm proud to support President Trump and our collective efforts to fix the healthcare system for the American people."
Susan Brooks: Republican, 5th District
Brooks said in a Tweet prior to the vote that she supported the measure because it will "lower costs, protect people w/pre-existing conditions & take the 1st steps towards more affordable & accessible healthcare."
Luke Messer: Republican, 6th District
In his remarks on the House Floor Thursday morning, Messer expressed support for the measure:
Larry Bucshon: Republican, 8th District
"Families have been hit with higher costs and limited choice under this government-mandated, one-size-fits-all system," Bucshon said in a statement after the vote. "It would be irresponsible for us to not act to provide them relief, The American Health Care Act puts patients back in charge of their healthcare decisions, helps drive down costs and expand access to care for everyone, and maintains critical patient protections like coverage for preexisting conditions."
Trey Hollingsworth: Republican, 9th District
"Constituents should never feel that the very people chosen to represent them are voting to give themselves privileged status," Hollingsworth said in a statement after the vote.Â
Opposed:
Pete Visclosky: Democrat, 1st District
Visclosky, representing Indiana's northwestern corner, tweeted about his oposition to the measure prior to the vote:
Andre Carson: Democrat, 7th District
In a tweet prior to the vote, Carson said he was voting against the measure because the bill "weakens pre-existing condition protections & increases premiums for millions."
