U.S. Representative Eric Burlison said Democrats had to admit that Obamacare was a failure in the fallout over the recent government shutdown where COVID-era subsidies took center stage.
He made the comments on Washington Watch.
"And so now that we've had that discussion, now that that's been proven, I don't think it's a good idea for us to discuss throwing more money at this project that has clearly been a failure. If anything, this has given us an opportunity to do something big, something bold, something beautiful. And that would be a MAHA plan."
He said it would be something President Donald Trump could rally behind that would give people freedom and choice where people could pick their insurance plan and doctors.
"Every American can have a MAHA account, and they can fund that account with their own tax free dollars or their employer can get the tax deduction and fund it with their money or a combination thereof. Then in addition, we will allow for individuals who are seeking charitable aid or help to be able to request that from their friends, their neighbors, from a charity and that could come into their MAHA account as well."
He said someone could buy any insurance product they want, including Obamacare and health sharing plans. He said this will create more price transparency by doctors and hospitals.
