FreedomWorks’ activist-chosen dumpster fire of the month for May 2019 is the Medicare for All Act, S. 1129, sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Not only would implementing “Medicare for All” add upwards of $32 trillion to our federal expenditures -- It would also result in, as our own Dan Savickas noted in FreedomWorks Foundation’s recently released booklet on entitlement reform, healthcare for none.

FreedomWorks signed on to a coalition letter with 54 other conservative, free market advocacy groups to oppose the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) proposed international pricing index (IPI). If implemented, this rule would tie drug prices for Medicare Part B recipients to an international model based on the prices in over a dozen European countries.

The United States is searching for a solution to the healthcare fiasco in Washington, D.C. The American people were promised a full repeal of ObamaCare. However, once in power, the members of Congress threw their central campaign promise to the wayside. The Republican leadership’s inability to come to a consensus is troubling and the deviation from the full repeal is appalling. Republican leadership in the House and Senate actually increased support for ObamaCare among senators and representatives.
