WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott joined Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria this morning applauding President Trump and the U.S. military’s incredible operation that led to the arrest of narco-terrorist dictator Nicolás Maduro and calling for the release of Maduro’s political prisoners in Venezuela. Senator Scott has fought alongside the Venezuelan for years to ensure their return to a free and democratic nation, and the president’s actions are the start of a new day of freedom for the people of Venezuela.

Senator Scott also discussed his work to pass his More Affordable Care Act to fix the health care crisis Obamacare created. The bill will work to drive down health care costs and empower Americans to take charge of their health care, increase transparency and competition in the system, and allow families to shop across state lines for the plan that best fits their families’ needs. Led by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger in the House, the members More Affordable Care Act also is an answer to President Trump’s call to send any federal support directly to families, and not to insurance companies, through new HSA-style Trump Health Freedom Accounts which will allow families to look for a plan that best suits their needs.

Senator Scott outlines his More Affordable Care Act in Fox News HERE and with Chairman Pfluger in the Washington Examiner HERE.

The More Affordable Care Act:

• Establishes Trump Health Freedom Accounts, HSA-style accounts that ensure federal dollars to support families are delivered to them directly, not funneled to insurance companies;

• These funds can be applied to premiums and will be Hyde-compliant by restricting use on abortion health plans or abortion services;

• Offers more options for plans that will create market-driven incentives to drive down costs;
• Allows Americans to shop across state lines with the creation of a state waiver program within the Affordable Care Act, further expanding competition within the health insurance market and the availability of health insurance plans within existing ACA exchanges.

• Any health insurance plan that is approved by a waiver state’s insurance commissioner shall be sold on an easily accessible exchange, whether that’s the federal exchange of healthcare.gov, a state’s exchange, or a state-managed, commercially run exchange.
• Enhances President Trump’s Executive Order to increase transparency in health care and provide patients with the price and quality of a good or service in advance. Families will have up-front pricing on what things will cost them – a health care menu – so they can make informed decisions and plan for their needs. 

• Maintains protections for pre-existing conditions; and
• Enhances the Small Business Tax Credit to encourage employer-sponsored coverage and increase accessibility.
