      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!

      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.

          Wow. So many lies. My husband's aunt was desperately depending on tump to give her family "something terrific" for their healthcare. Instead, her adult daughter got kicked off Medicare because they didn't understand AKs work requirements. Now, all are uninsured. You're pathetic.

          Your boss and Congress are wanting to cut trillions from among other things, Medicare. So tell me again about the "quality" care seniors and those on Medicare will be getting? Oh, and what's the COLA going to be this year?

          Before the ACA simply being on the gymnastics team was a pre-existing condition. My healthy daughter was denied insurance because she was on the high school gymnastics team, it was ridiculous. Those who own their own businesses need a way to buy quality insurance.
