Congressman Keith Self and Senator Kennedy have introduced The Patient’s Choice Act of 2024, aiming to overturn the Biden Administration's proposed rule that would significantly reduce access to short-term, limited-duration health plans.
“These insurance plans are designed to provide Americans with temporary, limited, and affordable health coverage while they search for more permanent solutions,” stated Congressman Keith Self, emphasizing the importance of the bill in preventing burdensome regulations on Americans.
Senator Kennedy voiced concerns over the proposed rule, stating, “President Biden’s rule would limit Americans’ freedom to get affordable, short-term health insurance plans that fit their needs. The Patients Choice Act would make sure bureaucrats can’t force Louisianians to pay more for insurance through Obamacare.”
The Foundation for Government Accountability highlighted that short-term plan premiums are significantly more affordable than typical Obamacare plans, providing a cost-effective alternative for many Americans. Congressman Self reiterated, “These insurance plans are a great way to provide Americans with temporary, limited, and affordable health coverage while they search for more permanent comprehensive plans.”
In response to the Biden administration's approach, Congressman Self criticized Obamacare, stating, “Obamacare is an abject failure. The Biden administration’s desire to force Americans to buy into this socialist scheme is just another attempt to stick taxpayers with the bill.”
The introduction of The Patient’s Choice Act of 2024 aims to ensure that Americans can continue to access affordable healthcare options without facing unnecessary restrictions on their choices.
