Competition In Health Care
Jan 22, 2016Obamacare promised to reduce health insurance premiums by as much as $2,500 per family. Today, however, premiums are $4,865 higher, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation report. Because Obamacare mandated the most expensive coverage for everyone, young people, as well as smaller insurers, have been priced out of the market. The net result is a health care system bursting at the seams as employers drop costly coverage and dump part-timers onto the trillion dollar ‘exchanges’ and providers refuse new patients due to government price controls. Empowering healthcare consumers should be issue one for any representative. And we do that by undoing the costly ACA ‘essential health benefits,’ allowing individuals to buy policies across state lines, and enacting true portability by changing the tax code.
