FROM FOX NEWS: President Donald Trump has again hinted at plans to replace the Affordable Care Act, teasing a possible Republican alternative during a recent interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
On Sunday, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), elaborated on what such a plan might entail, emphasizing greater consumer choice, lower prescription drug costs and expanded access for small business owners.
“People will decide which doctors they want to keep. They’ll pay for the programs they think are most valuable to them,” he told Peter Doocy on “The Sunday Briefing.”
“We can save enough money in the ACA as it’s currently structured if we adjust where the money’s invested and drive prices down… to actually give people some money back, and we want that.”
Oz told Doocy that the next step is to “bring people off the sidelines,” to help small businesses afford to purchase an ACA program.
“Empower them, put some of the money in their hands, let them buy the policy that suits their needs,” he said.
