Clinicians need to take the lead on healthcare. Lawyers and bean counters were used to write the Affordable Care Act, and look what it got us. As a doctor, former owner of a healthcare company, and cancer survivor, I believe it is time we allow clinicians to write and form the healthcare laws that will help our Nation, and to base it on a free market solution. That is why I am introducing a bill to innovate Medicaid, a plan that will put the patient in charge of their care with more choice and less cost. My plan would allow for free market competition and improve care. But above all, for Medicaid, it would not raise taxes and, potentially, could even lead to lower costs, without raising costs for Medicaid patients. We need less government involvement, not more, to fix our broken healthcare system. ____________________

The Democrat leadership in this House, hell-bent on impeachment, is trampling on precedent, fairness, and our system of representative democracy. We are in the midst of a so-called impeachment inquiry despite no vote ever having been held…
