INTERVIEW – ANDY HARRIS U.S. Congressman to the 1st district of Maryland Topic: Senate Health Bill • Rep. Andy Harris, Maryland's lone Republican in Congress, took a different position on the bill. In a statement, he noted the 50 percent premium increase sought by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Maryland's largest insurer on the individual marketplace. • “Premiums are rising and the Obamacare system is collapsing. Marylanders cannot afford to wait any longer, so I am pleased to see progress in the Senate," Harris said. "I look forward to working with my colleagues in both the House and Senate to complete this process and build a health care system that provides affordable, high-quality care to the American people.”
