American Health Care Act

Charlie Katebi – a fellow in health care reform at the Millennial Policy Center at the Liberty Group in Denver – spoke on the topic of “A Health Care Agenda for Millennials.”

The reported success of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or ObamaCare) is based on enrollment numbers. Millions more have “coverage.”

Coverage is not the same thing as care.

The ObamaCare substitute bill currently backed by House Republican leaders would increase the incentives and means for individuals to buy health insurance, naturally creating a disincentive for patients to obtain low-cost healthcare from direct-pay providers who have left the inefficient insurance system.
