On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Health Savings Accounts for All Act, H.R. 8032 and S. 4367, introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ari.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the bill would dramatically increase the freedom Americans have over their health care by drastically expanding the usefulness of health savings accounts (HSAs).
On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Pandemic Healthcare Access Act, H.R. 6338 and S. 3546, introduced in the House by Reps. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) and in the Senate by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Personalized Care Act, S. 3112 and H.R. 5596. Introduced by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) in the Senate and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Mike Johnson (R-La.) in the House, the Personalized Care Act would expand health savings accounts and make several other key reforms to empower patients when making choices in their healthcare.
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and him or her to cosponsor the Health Savings Account (HSA) Expansion Act, H.R. 603, if they haven’t already done so. Introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), the HSA Expansion Act would increase contribution limits for health savings accounts (HSAs) and would, for the first time, allow consumers to pay insurance premiums from their HSAs.
A coalition of conservative leaders on Wednesday released essential principles that must guide any potential path forward for Congress to repeal Obamacare. The group agreed on a set of principles that Congress must adopt in any health care legislation considered later this year or in the future.
House Republican leaders and HHS Secretary Tom Price have been briefing the House Republican Conference on the alternatives with which they plan to replace ObamaCare. While the transition period between ObamaCare and the Republican alternative, which still has not been introduced in legislative text, is unspecified, the policy brief that Republican leaders have given to the conference has been leaked to the press.
As one of our more than 6.9 million FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative today and ask him or her to support the Health Freedom for Seniors Act. Introduced by Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), the bill would allow seniors currently forced to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from their retirement accounts (IRA, 401(k)s, etc.) to instead roll that amount tax-free into an existing Health Savings Account. The Health Freedom for Seniors Act will expand the use of HSAs and increase an individual’s power over their own health care decisions.
Imagine going to the doctor with the flu and paying $30 for the visit and $10 for the medicine with no further medical bill. Now imagine going to the doctor and finding out you have cancer. You have enough money in the bank to deal with such a medical emergency and whatever you can’t cover, the federal government will pick up.
When liberals try to fix the American health care system, they focus on all the wrong things. ObamaCare took the approach of covering the many uninsured, and forced all Americans to purchase health insurance they may not want or need. But the problem in America isn’t lack of health insurance, it’s the skyrocketing costs of health care.
FreedomWorks Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, Tea Party Patriots and Committee to Unleash Prosperity in partnership with a coalition of conservative organizations and prominent individuals, launched the Save Our Country Task Force.
