Republicans have a generational opportunity to fix what Barack Obama broke

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on the latest developments into GOP efforts to pass healthcare legislation on ‘Fox & Friends.’

With Republicans in control, the time has finally come to offer practical health care solutions to drive down costs and improve care. It can be done with a single, clean bill that the majority of Americans will celebrate and Democrats will struggle to justify opposing. The plan doesn’t require a single vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, because the plan will simply bypass it.

Here are the straightforward provisions that will right what President Barack Obama got wrong. Republicans should send it to the president’s desk as soon as possible.

1. Catastrophic Plans Across State Lines (Effective Jan. 1, 2026) 

Bring back the popular catastrophic-only insurance plans that Obamacare made illegal. Starting next year, any licensed insurer may sell such plans nationwide. No mandated benefits, no strings attached. Allow insurers to underwrite, give them the option to price for pre-existing conditions and offer any deductible they choose. This will provide many Americans with the low-premium, high-deductible coverage they demand.
