Report: more choices and lower costs, without ObamaCare
Obamacare is making things worse by the day. It drives up premiums and deductible costs for individuals, families, and businesses. It forces people off the plans they like. It fuels waste, fraud, and abuse. And it cannot be fixed. Its knot of regulations, taxes, and mandates cannot be untangled. Obamacare must be fully repealed so we can start over and take anew approach. This isn't a return to the pre-Obamacare status quo. And it isn't just an attempt to replace Obamacare and leave it at that. This is a new approach. It's a step-by-step plan to give every American access to quality, affordable health care. Our plan recognizes that people deserve more patient-centered care, not more bureaucracy. That means more choices, not more mandates. You should have the freedom and the flexibility to choose the care that's best for you. Insurers should compete for your business, and treat you fairly--no matter what.
You and your family should have access to the best lifesaving treatments in the world. And as you get older, Medicare should give you more choices too. At every step, you should be in the driver's seat. This is a better way.Our Ideas- More choices and lower costs. Our plan gives you more control and more choices so that you can pick the plan that meets your needs--not Washington's mandates.
- Real protections and peace of mind. Our plan makes sure that you never have to worry about being turned away or having your coverage taken away--regardless of age, income, medical conditions, or circumstances.
- Cutting-edge cures and treatments. Our plan clears out the bureaucracy to accelerate the development of life-saving devices and therapies.
- A stronger Medicare. Our plan protects Medicare for today's seniors and preserves the program for future generations.
