Cassidy Unveils Healthcare Plan to Empower Patients Over Insurers
Sen. Bill Cassidy outlined a healthcare plan aimed at shifting control from insurance companies to patients, emphasizing the need for a more consumer-centric approach. The Louisiana Republican highlighted that current insurance company profits take 20% of funds, with the remaining 26 billion in premium tax credits potentially redirected to individuals. He advocated for lower premiums and higher deductibles, allowing consumers to manage their healthcare costs directly.
Cassidy also addressed vaccine safety, reaffirming that vaccines are not linked to autism by any credible scientific or medical source. He encouraged parents to discuss vaccination concerns with their physicians, noting that President Trump consistently supports immunizations. Additionally, he discussed the administration’s efforts to overhaul the Department of Education, citing poor reading scores among students and advocating for school choice as a solution.
The senator praised Trump’s approach to education reform, stating that significant change requires breaking eggs, and emphasized the importance of giving parents control over their children’s schooling.
