Patient CARE Act – A Look at What They’re Saying
The Patient CARE Act is a bicameral legislative blueprint that repeals and replaces Obamacare with common-sense, patient-focused reforms that reduce health care costs and increase access to affordable, high-quality care. In contrast with Obamacare and its government-centered mandates and regulations, this proposal empowers the American people to make the best health care choices for themselves and their families.
The Center for Health and Economy recently found that the Patient CARE Act would lower premiums, improve access to providers, increase medical productivity, and reduce the nation’s deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars. The plan was unveiled earlier this year by U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.).
