More Affordable Care Act

.
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.
