Dr. Broun’s plan shifts power from Washington D.C. to American patients and doctors. The OPTION ACT puts health care dollars in people’s hands, gets federal bureaucrats out of medical decisions, greatly diminishes the power of Congress in health care and makes charity, flexibility, and federal grants for indigent care the centerpiece of his bill. In short, the OPTION Act: • Repeals Obamacare

• Enacts HSA and Tax Treatment Improvements ◦ Repeals the mandate that Health Savings Account are only available to those who have a health insurance policy.

◦ Increases the amount that can be contributed to the HSA from $3,250 for individuals to $10,000, and from $5,500 for individuals to $20,000.

◦ Allows Medicare enrollees to have HSAs if enrolled before Medicare-eligible.

◦ Allows HSA dollars to be rolled over into a Medicare Advantage MSA.

◦ Prohibits tax on amounts not used for medical care.

The OPTION Act eliminates Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program

Never see the sun. The sad thing is, Medicare is so woven into the public fabric of America that angry seniors would descend on Washington in droves.

But Broun's bill kicks ass.

Bravo.

I like this guy.

It has no chance. There is nothing in it for politicians’ retirement funds. There is no way in it for politicians to mine for votes.

“The OPTION Act eliminates Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program -— and the entire Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.”

This is stupid... Most seniors have paid into medicare and depend on it for 80% of their coverage. Most were forced into the system and lost their earlier medical coverage.

Great idea. It’ll never happen.

CARE or total repeal have a chance, though.
