IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott’s More Affordable Care Act Delivers on President Trump’s Push to Make Health Care Great Again
January 15, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. –
In case you missed it, as President Trump calls for fixes to make health care more affordable for families, Senator Rick Scott’s
More Affordable Care Act
works to deliver just that. This bill will fix the broken health care crisis Obamacare has created, drive down health care costs and empower Americans to take charge of their health care, increase transparency and competition in the system, and gives families the opportunity to shop across state lines. The senator’s
More Affordable Care Act
is an
answer to President Trump’s
call to send any federal support directly to families, rather than insurance companies, through new HSA-style Trump Health Freedom Accounts that empower families to shop for 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 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.
