The bill, which narrowly passed the House on Thursday, has come under fire for slashing Medicaid, raising premiums for older, rural residents and rolling back health protections for women.

The congressman’s adult son has asthma, a condition that could be subject to significant insurance premium increases under the House health care bill.

Under the Senate bill, the question would go to voters only if Massachusetts and New Hampshire also switch to Atlantic Standard Time, essentially changing to daylight saving time year-round.

The change would put an end to resetting the clocks each spring and fall and keep Maine on the equivalent of daylight saving time year-round.
