What's On Our Radar: March 9, 2017
Health care, oil and the economy; here’s what’s On Our Radar today:
Un-healthy?
Trump’s health care bill is feeling a little under the weather. Currently, only some Republicans and the White House support the bill, meanwhile conservatives and groups like AARP and the American Medical Association all said “pass.” Overnight, the Republicans pushed legislation through the Ways and Means Committee while the Energy and Commerce Committee panel continue to work. The cost of the plan is still TBD.
