As we were home over the Christmas holiday break, so many calls that came into my office dealt with the ObamaCare issue--the rise in premiums, the lack of affordability. Here is one example. A 64-year-old man, his premiums $30,000, deductible $12,000--indeed, too expensive to afford and too expensive to use. But we do have a plan for repealing and replacing. You will find it at A Better Way. This will help lift the financial burden from many Americans who are currently facing high costs due to ObamaCare. Our plan allows patients greater access to affordable care and affordable insurance. Our next step includes my legislation, H.R. 314. It is the Health Care Choice Act of 2017. What it will do is allow greater access, more choice, and more options by allowing across-State-line purchasing of health insurance. You find the plan that is most suited to you and your family at a price that you can afford. It is time for us to repeal and replace with good patient-centered options. ____________________
