IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott Joins Fox Business to Call for Immediate Passage of His More Affordable Care Act to Make Health Care Great Again
January 22, 2026
‘Expanding Choices, Increasing Transparency, and Empowering Families to Take Control of Their Health Care’
WASHINGTON, D.C. –
In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott
joined
Fox Business’
Mornings with Maria
this morning to discuss his
More Affordable Care Act
. Senator Scott’s bill is the long-term fix to the crisis called Obamacare. As
President Trump has called on Congress
to make health care more affordable for families, the
More Affordable Care Act
is ready to deliver on these calls ASAP. The bill will drive down costs, increase transparency and competition in the system, and give families the opportunity to shop across state lines.
The More Affordable Care Act
also delivers on the president’s
call
to direct any federal support dollars straight to families, not insurance companies, through new HSA-style Trump Health Freedom Accounts that empower families to choose the plan that best fits their unique needs.
The bill is cosponsored by
Senators Mike Lee and Cynthia Lummis
and is led by Republican Study Committee
Chairman August Pfluger
in the House of Representatives.

The
More Affordable Care Act:
Establishes Trump Health Freedom Accounts,
HSA-style accounts that ensure federal dollars to support families are delivered to them directly, not funneled to insurance companies;
These funds can be applied to premiums and will be Hyde-compliant by restricting use on abortion health plans or abortion services;
Offers more options for plans that will create market-driven incentives to drive down costs;
Allows Americans to shop across state lines with the creation of a state waiver program within the
Affordable Care Act
,
further expanding competition within the health insurance market and the availability of health insurance plans within existing ACA exchanges.
Any health insurance plan that is approved by a waiver from the state’s insurance commissioner shall be sold on an easily accessible exchange, whether that’s the federal exchange of healthcare.gov, a state’s exchange, or a state-managed, commercially run exchange.
Enhances President Trump’s
Executive Order
to increase transparency in health care
and provide patients with the price and quality of a good or service in advance. Families will have up-front pricing on what things will cost them – a health care menu – so they can make informed decisions and plan for their needs.
Maintains protections for pre-existing conditions; and
Enhances the Small Business Tax Credit to encourage employer-sponsored coverage and increase accessibility.
