Protecting Patients and Expanding Health Care Options

Fixing America’s Health Care System

Health care is broken in the United States. Why? Massive red tape, a market devoid of transparency, and perpetual government expansions have caused costs to skyrocket, pushing everyday Americans and their families out of the market entirely.

And the “answer” many politicians push on the nation is a poison pill: a government-controlled, one-size-fits-all program. But Americans do not need even more bureaucracy or a system that promotes dependency—they need real solutions that provide options, transparency, and lower costs.

And now is the time. In 2022, the average health insurance premium was more than $6,000 per person. Reforms must be advanced that reflect good policy, practical politics, and address voters’ biggest concerns.

More Options. More Transparency. More Affordability.

  • Expand non-profit health plans and health-sharing options.
  • Allow association health plans for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
  • Allow individual, renewable, short-term plans that last up to a year.
  • Allow patients to form direct health care arrangements—without insurance.
  • Enforce price transparency for hospitals, insurers, and prescription drugs.
  • Allow individuals who choose low-cost, high-value providers to share savings with their insurers, even when the providers are out of network.
  • Expand volunteer care by allowing all health professionals to donate free care to uninsured individuals in exchange for continuing education credit.
  • Require tax-exempt hospitals to meet the obligations of charity care.
