Rep. Marshall and RSC Announce GOP Health Care Plan

Statement

Today, Congressman Roger Marshall (R-KS), Chair of the RSC's Health Care Task Force, along with Congressman Mike Johnson, Republican Study Committee Chairman, released The RSC Health Care Plan: A Framework for Personalized, Affordable Care. RSC is the largest caucus in Congress, and today's proposal is phase one of a two-phase framework to reform and improve our nation's health care system.

Carefully crafted over a year of research and stakeholder discussions, the RSC's framework to achieve more personalized, affordable care is designed to empower patients and doctors rather than bureaucrats and insurance companies. Congressman Marshall was selected to lead the RSC's Health Care Task Force due to his intensive knowledge and experience of the health care industry, having worked as a physician for over 25 years.

The RSC Health Care Plan is presented as an alternative to Democrat proposals to force all Americans off their current insurance plans -- including those with employer-sponsored coverage -- and into a government-run, one-size-fits-all, health care system, which would cost over $30 trillion.

"With the introduction of our plan today, we are beginning a desperately-needed conversation on how to save our country's broken health care system. The status quo is not working for hardworking Americans. The one thing in Washington both parties agree on is that our existing health care system does not work. It does not adequately protect those living with pre-existing conditions, all while premiums and deductibles continue to skyrocket for families," Marshall said. "With the first phase of the framework introduced today, we will work with our colleagues to define legislation that will deliver the choice and control Americans want, the affordability they need, the ease they desire, and the quality everyone deserves."
