Freedom Partners Issues Statement on American Health Care Act

ARLINGTON, Va., May 4 -- Freedom Partners, a nonprofit 501(c)(6) organization, issued the following statement by Vice President of Policy Nathan Nascimento on the passage of the American Health Care Act in the House:

"Obamacare continues to be a nightmare for millions of Americans. While this bill is a modest improvement from its earlier version, much more work must be done to truly drive down costs, create more affordable options, and expand access to quality care for everyone - especially those who need it most.

"We look forward to working with the Senate and the Trump administration to help them keep their promise to the American people, undo the damage caused by Obamacare, and deliver the relief all Americans deserve."

BACKGROUND

Earlier this year, Freedom Partners released a strategy memo entitled, "Health Care: A Targeted Approach." The memo puts forth a series of targeted health care solutions that would reduce costs, increase choices for patients, and improve access to care for millions of people seeking relief.

In addition to allowing states to implement insurance safety nets that protect people with preexisting conditions from cost spikes, the memo outlines other reforms such as expanding Health Savings Accounts, streamlining Food and Drug Administration approval processes, and eliminating regulations that discourage the use of telemedicine. These reforms and others highlighted in the memo are aimed at providing all Americans with access to affordable and quality health care.
