Hello John,
I recently appeared on the Trish Regan Show to talk about how we can help
improve health care policy for all Americans.
But before we can fix anything, we have to understand what got us into this
mess in the first place.
Sure, we have some of the greatest health care in the world.
But it’s more expensive than it needs to be — and it’s too complex and
confusing.
The clip below sums up why health care is so expensive, and the answer won’t
surprise you.

“It’s the lack of competition and some very bad government rules and mandates
that are actually incentivizing the big health insurance companies to drive
their prices up.”
Case in point: Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act would have increased
Medicare Part D (the prescription drug plan) monthly premiums by nearly 300% —
from $65 today to $180 next year.
Those premium hikes would have been announced right before the election.
Whoops! Can’t have that.
So, Medicare dreamed up a phony “demonstration program” that would reduce Part
D premiums.
How?
By increasing payments to insurance companies — to the tune of $5 billion.
Not surprisingly, nearly all insurers signed up to be part of the
demonstration.
Here’s how this scheme will end:
Part D premiums will eventually rise. Taxpayers will be out $5 billion.
Insurance companies will profit. And your health care won’t improve.
That’s why we need a Personal Option for health care that funds individuals
and families — not the system.
With a Personal Option, providers would have to compete for your business
instead of gaming the system for their benefit.
Health care is too personal to be run by the government and insurance
companies.
It’s time to put you in control of your health care decisions with a Personal
Option.
Please contact your elected official and tell them you support a Personal
Option.
