WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging Chairman Rick Scott’s More Affordable Care Act will be led in the House of Representatives by Congressman August Pfluger, chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC). Chairman Scott and Chairman Pfluger’s plan will give American families the flexibility they need to choose the coverage that truly fits their individual needs by increasing transparency in the system, offering them the choice to shop across state lines, and sending any federal subsidies directly to Americans, not to insurance companies, using HSA-style Trump Health Freedom Accounts to put health care decisions in the hands of each and every American.

Chairman Scott also outlined his proposal in his recent Fox News op-ed, “I Grew Up in Public Housing and I Know How to Fix Obamacare.”

Chairman Rick Scott said, “American families see clearly that Obamacare has failed to deliver on its promises – instead, it created a broken system that screwed over the American people. It’s time to fix it by allowing Americans to be the consumer so they can get care that truly fits their needs and makes health care more affordable. I’m proud to partner with Chairman Pfluger on my More Affordable Care Act that makes commonsense changes that empowers American patients, not the government, to make their own decisions. We don’t have to replace Obamacare, we keep exchanges, we keep protections for preexisting conditions – but we can add options for families, allowing them to shop across state lines, increasing transparency in health care, and giving any financial support to them directly through HSA-style Trump Health Freedom Accounts so families can choose the care that fits their needs. With more competition, clearer pricing, and allowing Americans, not government, to be the consumer, we can transform Obamacare into a system that gives Americans the freedom to get the care they need.”

Chairman August Pfluger said, “I'm proud to fight alongside Chairman Rick Scott in introducing the More Affordable Care Act to fix the Democrats' Obamacare disaster that left families with skyrocketing costs and broken promises. By establishing Health Freedom Accounts, we’re putting health care decisions back where they belong: in the hands of American families, not Washington bureaucrats. The American people deserve better than throwing more money at a failed system, and we're delivering the commonsense solutions they expect.”
