IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott Joins Fox News’ Faulker Focus to Discuss Pres. Trump’s 2025 Wins & His More Affordable Care Act to Drive Down Health Care Costs
December 18, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. –
In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott
joined
the
Faulkner Focus
on Fox News to discuss President Trump’s big wins for the American people in his first year as he works to deliver on his promises of putting Americans first, securing the border, cutting taxes, and reversing Biden’s disastrous, inflation-fueling policies. Senator Scott also discussed his work to pass his
More Affordable Care Act
to fix the health care crisis Obamacare has created. This bill, led by RSC Chairman August Pfluger in the House, will drive down health care costs and empower Americans to take charge of their health care, increase transparency and competition in the system, and allow families to shop across state lines. The senator’s
More Affordable Care Act
also
acts on 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 allow families to shop for the plan that best fits their needs.

Senator Scott outlines his
More Affordable Care Act
in Fox News

and with Chairman Pfluger in the Washington Examiner
HERE
.
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.
