Tom Price: Health Care Bill Is Patient Centered Where Families and Doctors Will Make Decisions, Not D.C.

EXCERPT:

PRICE: "So, this bill would provide market stability, making it so that insurance companies can come back into the market and provide — offer coverage for individuals. It would make it so that there are insurance reforms so that individuals have more choices. It does away with the mandate so you aren’t forced to buy something that the government wants you to purchase or says you got to purchase. You get the choice as individuals across this land to be able to purchase the kind of coverage that’s right for you and your family. And then in the Medicaid system, what we do is to say to states, 'You need the flexibility to be able to provide the kind of coverage that you think is most appropriate for your constituents, for your population, instead of a top-down 'Washington knows best' model.' So, it’s significant reform. It’s a move in a much better direction because it is patient-centered move for patients, and families and doctors will be making decisions, not Washington, D.C.”
