When @POTUS took office, he took aggressive action. Literally, one of the first significant actions by the President was stepping in to help the American people by stabilizing the market as best he could within its broken confines.

Turns out when you have a president who's willing to take decisive action, who understands business, who’s willing to work with the private sector, you can find a way to help American patients—even within a failed system like the ACA. We now have clear evidence that this is true.

BREAKING: We are announcing today that, for the very first time under the ACA, the premium for a typical federal exchange plan will actually drop. Insurers have proposed to cut premiums for these benchmark plans by 2% nationally.

Let me repeat that: Under
@POTUS, prices are dropping and choices are returning. The President who was supposedly trying to sabotage the ACA has proven better at managing it than the President who wrote the law. And we're still approving measures to further bring down premiums!Show this thread -
Now, rather than reckon with the failures of the ACA, the same suspects are now proposing to repeat them—by imposing these failed ideas on all of American healthcare. I’m referring to the various proposals to create “Medicare for All.”

The promise of "Medicare for All" is that all should get the quality care like seniors receive today. But the reality would be no one gets that quality—not working Americans who lose their employer insurance and not seniors whose program would now be altered beyond recognition.

The cost of "Medicare for All" would be staggering. By one recent estimate this system would cost taxpayers $32 trillion over a 10-year period. Today, 28% of federal spending is on healthcare. Under "Medicare for All," 58% of our federal budget would be devoted to healthcare.

One of the best things about American healthcare is that we believe if you don’t like your plan, you don’t have to keep it. If you don’t like your doctor, you don’t have to keep them, either! Medicare for All is the opposite—if you don’t like your plan, there’s no way to leave.

There is a better way to do healthcare. It involves sending power back to the American people—to states, to local communities, to your doctor, and to you, as American patients. It involves building on the successes we’ve seen when patients have choice.

Empowering the decision-makers closest to the people is the way of the future, a return to what once made American healthcare great, and the vision
@POTUS has to deliver better care for all at lower prices.Show this thread -

You’re attempting to foist criminally insufficient junk insurance on us in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. No thank you.

The
#ACA was passed to be a catalyst to reforming a health system that is unsustainably expensive, too low in value and too inaccessible to millions. It brought access to tens of millions and began changes to higher value. Critics are welcome but solutions would be better.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

You are corrupt idiot. THe basic plan for the ACA was hatched at the conservative Heritage Foundation in 1989 in a document entitled "The Heritage Consumer Choice Health Plan" authored by Stuart M. Butler.

Please don’t campaign. This tweet is in poor taste for an executive. Still waiting for drug prices to go down and drug shortages to stop (including essential hospital medications).

My son in law is alive because of the ACA. Now I have a grandson. The ACA was successful even before Obama... aka Romney Care. The republicans chipped away at it to make if fail. So just be quiet on this topic since those of us out in the REAL world know the truth.

The only disastrous part was when the GOP changed enough of the ACA before it was passed to weaken it. ALL Americans's health & healthcare coverage is VERY IMPORTANT. A healthcare plan to cover ALL Americans should have been enacted a long time ago. Congresses & Presidents fault.

Secretary, just because you have a political post doesnt mean you understand the issue. Specialty pharmacy $ is still the culprit & is NOT addressed by your rhetoric. Results matter Evidence matters. Objectivity matters. You should understand that.
