| Two Republican congressmen introduced proposals Tuesday designed to fix America’s health care system through a variety of market-oriented reforms. Reps. Bruce Westerman (R-AK) and Jim Banks (R-IN) say their Fair Care Act of 2019 “addresses major drivers of health care costs as well as obstacles hindering individuals from obtaining health insurance coverage.” It proposes a bevy of changes to the health care market. Many of the bill’s provisions target availability of insurance to those who otherwise lack access. It also allows would put in statute short-term limited duration plans and association healthplans, which would increase competition. They worked closely with Avik Roy of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity in developing the plan. |
