Republicans are weak, lazy, or both. There’s no excuse for the GOP to be so pathetically incompetent when it comes to health care. But it’s what you get when you vote for The Swamp.
Our health-care system (aka sick care system) isn’t just sick — it’s obese.
Bloated with red tape, bureaucrats, and corporate profit. For fifteen years, we’ve been told to “trust the experts,” pour in more subsidies, and hope prices go down. Instead, premiums are up nearly 80% since 2014, and families are paying more than ever for less care.
Want to know the truth? We didn’t subsidize health care.
We subsidized health administration.
The number of administrators, coders, and billers has exploded, while the number of actual doctors has barely moved. Hospitals merge, insurance CEOs cash out, and patients wait months for basic appointments. The Affordable Care Act didn’t bend the cost curve — it bent the American people over the desk of corporate greed.
Health insurance is no longer a safety net. It’s a government-backed racket. (Example: UnitedHealthcare denies 33% of claims. How is that even possible or legal?)
And of the 1% of claims Americans appeal, less than half are ever overturned.
Doctors wait an average of 71 days to get paid — and sometimes never do.
Wealth extraction at its finest.
It’s Time for an America-First Health Revolution
We can have a safety net without letting corporations devour every dollar we spend.
We can protect the truly sick without bankrupting the healthy.
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know, as a provider and a patient, this system ain’t working.
So anyone who says no that won’t work, that’s crazy should put up or shut up. We need real, radical solutions for health care if we are to survive. Period.
Here’s my America-First roadmap to health care reform:
- 1. End corporate welfare.
Kill the subsidies that funnel billions to insurers. Help for those in need, yes, with means testing. Permanent taxpayer funded Ponzi schemes for billion-dollar corporations, no, hell no!
- 2. End mandates.
Let families buy coverage that fits their lives — not what Washington dictates. Government control of what we buy or how we buy it is part of the problem.
- 3. Protect the truly sick.
Provide a safety net for those in need and for serious conditions instead of taxing everyone to protect insurance profits. We can and will provide for those in need, but not for those who aren’t.
- 4. Force real price transparency.
Every doctor, hospital, and pharmacy should post prices. The only people afraid of price transparency are the ones overcharging you. People need to know what things cost. If you’re standing in the way of this, you’re standing in the way of truth and you’re part of the problem.
- 5. Explore a lean catastrophic-care option.
A streamlined government-backed catastrophic plan could protect families from financial ruin — while freeing the rest of the system to operate privately and efficiently. We spend $6,000 per person now, so spare me the lecture on affordability.
Country Over Party
Health care doesn’t need more Washington meddling. It needs less of it.
It needs freedom, competition, and accountability. It needs leaders who put patients over profits and country over party.
This isn’t about left versus right. It’s about America versus the system.
A system that feeds on sickness, thrives on dependency, and fattens itself with our tax dollars.
I stand with Marjorie Taylor Greene because she tells the truth — even when her own party doesn’t want to hear it. She’s right: we don’t need more bureaucrats managing our care; we need to Make America Healthy Again.
That starts with ending swampy, career politicians like Ann Wagner — who’ve spent a lifetime protecting Big Health, Big Pharma, and Big Insurance while pretending to care about the people footing the bill.
Ann Wagner has voted for every spending bill that props up the ACA, every continuing resolution that shields the insurance lobby, and every deal that keeps premiums high. She’s taken hundreds of thousands from the same corporations squeezing families, strangling doctors, and bankrupting small clinics.
She’s not fighting for Missouri — she’s fighting for her crony friends.
That’s not conservative or America-First.
It’s time for Republicans to lead.
It’s time to fix the root causes of the broken system.
And it’s time to put the American people first — once and for all.
