On Monday, Republicans in Congress with unveil a plan to replace ObamaCare, the former president’s still-unpopular signature healthcare law. While details are still murky, the Patient Freedom Act will eliminate harsh penalties for not having insurance and focus more on choice, rather than government-run marketplaces.
The plan was crafted by Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Me., and will include health savings accounts and long-debated measures to increase competition. While ObamaCare is unpopular taken as a whole, certain aspects to the bill are popular at least in theory.
The Republican plan will aim to keep popular provisions, including the one allowing individuals to stay on their parents’ policies until they are 26 years-old.
The money meant for states to pay for Medicaid expansion with be paid on a pro-beneficiary basis and capped.
“It’s what the federal government does with insurance companies,” Rep. Cassidy said. “Now the taxpayer does it with the state.”
