From Breitbart:
Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) and House Republicans on Tuesday introduced legislation that aims to lower healthcare costs and fix the “disaster” that is Obamacare.
Pfluger introduced the More Affordable Care Act (MACA), the House companion legislation to Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) bill, which Breitbart News detailed at the Breitbart Fight Club.
“America’s health care system is broken, plagued by skyrocketing costs and declining patient outcomes. The Democrats’ Obamacare disaster completely failed to deliver on its core promises, and Republicans must fix it,” Pfluger, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), said in a statement to Breitbart News.
Representative Pfluger’s legislation would establish health savings accounts called Trump Health Freedom accounts that would give money to consumers instead of insurance companies. The legislation would also establish options for plans, options to allow Americans to shop across state lines, and codify President Trump’s executive order increasing healthcare price transparency.
Breitbart notes that healthcare price transparency “has been a cornerstone of Trump’s healthcare reforms.” Additionally, the President previously suggested giving money directly to Americans as a way to combat exorbitant healthcare costs. Now, it seems that plan may become reality.
As Republicans in Congress to pass legislation, let’s pray for more affordable healthcare for every American.
