Hello John,
When it comes to health care and Washington, two things have been consistent
over time.
The first constant is that politicians pass bills and enact laws they promise
will lower health care costs. Think of things like Obamacare and Biden’s drug
price-fixing law.
The second constant is that in the wake of all these bills to lower costs …
costs go up!
Take a look at this graph showing the annual cost of family health insurance
premiums since the year 2000. It has been a steady climb — more than
quadrupling from about $6,000 to about $26,000.
See what happened after 2010? That’s the year Obamacare passed. President
Obama pledged that if Congress passed his plan, it would “bring down premiums
by $2,500 for the typical family.”
Take a long look at that chart.
Do you see insurance premiums going down? Either Obama’s pledge was all hooey,
or there is no such thing as a “typical family.”
We’re going with hooey.
With a new Congress and president being sworn in this month, we’re avoiding a
lot of bad health care policies that might otherwise cause your rates to soar
even further.
But that doesn’t mean we can put health care on the back burner.
In 2025, we need to ensure Americans like you have more control over your
family’s health care, not insurance companies or bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
Nearly a quarter of the federal budget is spent on health care (with a large
part of that expenditure going directly to insurance companies). If we want to
cut taxes or reduce the debt, we need to get a grip on health care.
The solution: Reduce the power of government and the insurance companies in
health care and give that power to the patients and families with aPersonal
Option.
The Personal Option is the health care plan that funds patients, not the
system.
It offers all Americans the opportunity to break free from the government and
the insurance companies and be the masters of their own health care spending.
We have a limited window to enact these commonsense changes, but we can’t get
anything done unless Congress hears from you.
Let Congress know that you want a Personal Option

for health care.

Giving people more control over their own health care spending creates
competition and brings prices down. It means providers are forced to post
honest prices. And it means innovative provider models that cost you less.
Best,
-Dean
