WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: Obamacare Flatlined. The More Affordable Care Act is the Remedy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) and U.S. Senator Rick Scott introduced the More Affordable Care Act (MACA) to address the failures of Obamacare while allowing Americans more freedom to choose health care coverage. 

MACA will establish Trump Health Freedom Accounts to give American families the opportunity to shop, compare, and choose coverage that actually works for them instead of lining the pockets of insurance companies.

Here’s what members and key stakeholders are saying:

"Healthcare costs are rising because Obamacare continues to fail. Under Obama and Biden’s system, Americans have seen their premiums skyrocket, a loathsome decline in their health care options, and shameless handouts to big insurance providers. Democrats now want to bail out Obamacare by extending the enhanced premium tax subsidies they swore were temporary policy to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully, Senator Rick Scott and Representative August Pfluger introduced the More Affordable Care Act, a bill that would establish Trump Health Freedom Accounts, offer Americans more plan options, allow Americans to shop across state lines for coverage, increase transparency in the ACA Marketplace, and enhance the Small Business Tax Credit to encourage employer-sponsored coverage. Sen. Scott and Rep. Pfluger's bill contains conservative reforms that actually reduce the costs of healthcare. No Republican should support extending the enhanced premium tax subsidies. I urge Congress to pass the More Affordable Care Act,"said Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform.

“Senator Rick Scott and Chairman August Pfluger’s More Affordable Care Act is exactly the sort of pro-freedom healthcare leadership that is needed to drive down costs for both patients and taxpayers. This fiscally responsible legislation stops Obamacare from doing more damage and handing over billions from the Treasury directly to Big Insurance through the subsidy scheme. It opens up competition in the market, gives patients options, and institutes commonsense reforms to safeguard taxpayer dollars. Ultimately, through the creation of the Trump Health Freedom Accounts and transparency measures, the More Affordable Care Act improves access to quality healthcare,” said Brittany Madni, Executive Vice President, Economic Policy Innovation Center.

“Instead of funding big insurance, this bill funds patients. Instead of empowering bureaucrats, it empowers you and the doctors you trust. Our activists will be working hard to advance this legislation because it advances a personal option: reliable, hassle/free health care you can afford,” said Dean Clancy, Senior Health Policy Fellow, Americans for Prosperity.

“ObamaCare has failed American families for years, and extending Biden’s temporary COVID subsidies would only have made the broken system worse,” said Tarren Bragdon, President and CEO at the Foundation for Government Accountability. “Instead, the More Affordable Care Act offers a free-market alternative that will finally put patients first and start to drive down the cost of coverage for Americans struggling with the rising cost of health care,” said Tarren Bragdon, CEO, Foundation for Government Accountability.
