| Hello John, Almost half of all Americans (45%) struggle to afford health care and prescription drugs, according to the Healthcare Affordability Index. Two years ago, it was 39%. That needs to change. And we can change it with a Personal Option. We’ll come back to that in a moment. For more and more Americans, health care is something they must put off or do without due to cost. That could lead to people getting even sicker and putting more strain on an already overburdened system. Something clearly isn’t working right in our healthcare system. There is almost no competition. Government, health insurance companies, and the big hospital systems call all the shots. No wonder so many patients say they feel helpless when dealing with the system, like they have no control over anything. The Personal Option is based on the simple idea that people should have more control over their own health care decisions. The Personal Option... ✔️ Empowers patients, doctors, nurses, and health care innovators — not insurance companies or government bureaucrats. ✔️ It removes the barriers that impede access to care and offers Americans more choice and flexibility in their own health care decisions. ✔️ Importantly, it doesn’t require a single penny in new taxes. More choice means you have more control, which increases competition and brings down costs as health care providers are forced to compete for your business. The Personal Option is all about choice and control — who you trust with the important decisions about your health care. It means customized, affordable health care for every American. |
