IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott in the Miami Herald: Time to Fix Our Broken Health Care System, Empower Patients and Drive Down Costs

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott wrote a letter to the editor of the Miami Herald responding to a recent piece demanding solutions to the health care crisis Obamacare created for our nation, which continues to fail Floridians and Americans. In his response, Senator Scott highlights his push to deliver those solutions with his More Affordable Care Act that will put families - not insurance companies or Washington bureaucrats - back in control of their health care by empowering patients with their decisions, increasing transparency in health care, and driving down costs.

In the letter, Senator Scott wrote, "It's heartbreaking to see Floridians struggle to afford health care…Growing up, my family was poor. My mother drove hours to the nearest charity hospital so my brother, who had a hip disease, could receive care. It shouldn't be this hard for Americans to get health care that's affordable and works for them. I want to fix that.

…

"Democrats created Obamacare, but Republicans must fix it. If we don't, we're just rubber-stamping what we all acknowledge is a broken system full of broken promises. That's why I'm working to pass my More Affordable Care Act…

…

"My bill would drive down costs by allowing Americans to make decisions and empowering them with the information they need to make the best health care choices for their families.

…

"We can pass this bill today to bring change that will drive down costs for families."
