Putting you in control and providing you with real certainty is a stark contrast to recent proposals for a government takeover of our entire health care system. The president’s executive order aims to simplify health care quality measures collected by the federal government, so your doctor can focus on keeping you healthy, rather than filling out paperwork. We launched a major initiative that could connect 10 million or more Medicare beneficiaries to a primary-care provider who will be accountable to them - and paid more when patients stay healthy. High-quality care means not just cutting-edge treatments but also care that keeps you healthy, rather than only helping when you’re sick. Third, we are going to deliver the quality patients deserve. We are also working to give patients control over their own health information, allowing them seamless access to their health data through private-sector apps.

The president has already ensured you have a right to find out the best possible price for medications from your pharmacist and required drug companies to put their prices in TV ads. That is the goal of the president’s new executive order: to bring you the pricing information you need to find the right options for you. Second, American patients deserve to be in control, not left at the mercy of a shadowy system.
We have also proposed that backdoor rebates in Medicare Part D, which amounted to $29 billion last year, be delivered directly as discounts to patients at the pharmacy counter - as soon as Jan. The Trump administration has set records for approvals of low-cost generic drugs, saving patients $26 billion in just the first year and a half of the president’s term. The cost of prescription drugs also must keep coming down. Americans should also be allowed to receive more services from lower-priced providers, such as nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants. There is already evidence that significant savings can be generated just by giving patients the tools to know prices and shop among providers, which is what the president’s executive order will deliver. We also need to address unaffordable prices in health care. The president’s executive order will also open up new access to health-savings accounts, which can protect Americans from high medical bills. Last week, we finalized a new way for Americans to use tax-free contributions from their employer to purchase insurance of their choosing. The Trump administration has opened new insurance options for American small employers and workers both inside and outside of the individual insurance market, and we continue to protect Americans with preexisting conditions. Patients deserve a backstop against high medical costs, and the government takeover of individual insurance over the past decade has failed to deliver that peace of mind. What does following through look like? First, the president has been clear: Americans need affordable health care. The president understands this, which is why he vowed to build on what works and continue fighting to deliver the affordability you need, the options and control you want and the quality you deserve.
Too many fear that they are one bit of bad luck away from crippling medical bills. Most Americans, especially the 240 million on Medicare or employer insurance, like what they have but are concerned about the flaws in the system. This step is part of a number of efforts underway, across the administration, to fix the problems in American health care, while preserving what works and what Americans like about the system. It’s one reason why President Trump signed an executive order last week to help you easily find the typical price - and what you would actually owe - for major health services before you have to purchase them. We have worked at the highest levels of US health care for years, yet it has happened to both of us.
