Washington, D.C. – In response to Joe Grogan’s remarks today at the HLTH Conference, Jenny Beth Martin, Honorary Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action, issued the following statement:

“Joe Grogan is right; the regulatory changes in health insurance ushered in by the ACA didn’t improve the healthcare system. The people of the United States would be better served by widening healthcare choices and increasing competition, rather than creating more national mandates and compliance dicta that drown healthcare providers in bureaucracy, red tape, and administrative expenses.

“Medicare for all will just mean higher taxes and fewer choices – with every healthcare decision dictated by a bureaucrat in Washington who thinks he knows what is right for you. In this age of advancement, we should focus on the individual – not on a top-down approach that lines the pockets of administrators.”
