Fischer Votes for Health Care Freedom for Patients Act

Today, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) voted in favor of the
Health Care Freedom for Patients Act
, which will help lower the cost of health care and give patients the resources to control their own health care decisions.
“Today I voted for the
Health Care Freedom for Patients Act
to lower costs by putting money directly into Americans’ pockets. Senate Democrats refused to join us, choosing to preserve a failed system that sends billions in taxpayer dollars to insurance companies, not the people. These expanded COVID-era Obamacare subsidies were meant for a pandemic that ended years ago; continuing them without reform is unacceptable. Federal support should go directly to families — not enrich insurance companies. My priority is giving Americans the freedom to choose the care that works best for them, and I urge Democrats to meet us at the table to get this done,”
Fischer said.
Health Care Freedom for Patients Act
:
Sends money to patients, not insurance companies;
Lowers insurance premiums by funding cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments;
Empowers Americans to choose the insurance plan that fits their needs by increasing access to low-cost catastrophic plans; and
Prevents illegal immigrants from accessing Medicaid by requiring states to verify citizenship and immigration status before coverage.
