Mr. GordonWayne Watts
821 Alicia Rd Lakeland, FL 33801-2113 Dear Mr. Watts: Thank you for taking the time to send me your idea for health care reform. I always appreciate you taking the time to contact me and welcome the opportunity to respond. Nearly seven years after being signed into law, ObamaCare clearly has failed the American people. Americans today face skyrocketing premiums and soaring deductibles. In Florida alone, premiums for 2017 will increase by an average of 19.1 percent. Insurers are withdrawing from markets across the country, leaving many families with fewer choices and less access to care than they had before-the opposite of what President Obama promised. That is why I supported and helped pass an important resolution this month that clears the way for repealing and replacing ObamaCare once and for all. We will have a seamless transition toward a market-based, patient-centered healthcare system that gives Americans control and access to quality, affordable care. This is the first of several steps we will be taking to deliver relief to Americans who are struggling under this law. This is nothing short of a rescue mission. We are stepping in to do what is right-keeping our promise to the American people. Our health is extremely personal to each of us, and Americans deserve better than broken promises and unaffordable healthcare that is overregulated by the federal government and Washington bureaucrats. As the end of ObamaCare is finally upon us, I promise to continue my fight to provide and offer viable solutions for real healthcare reform that returns healthcare decisions back to patients and their doctors. I appreciate your recommendations, and look forward to working with you and others from our community to replace ObamaCare. It is an honor and a privilege to represent constituents like you of the 15th District of Florida. To learn more on how I may serve you, please visit http://dennisross.house.gov. Please feel free to continue to contact me in the future. |
