Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Thursday that Republicans need to counter Medicare for All with their own proposal.
Cassidy revealed that he continues to work on his own proposal, based on the successful CHIP program, that would allow states to design a healthcare plan that works best for their citizens.
Sen. Cassidy, a doctor and one of the Senate’s foremost experts on health care, spoke with Breitbart News regarding his many many proposals to lower healthcare costs, as President Donald Trump recently declared that the Republican party would become the party of health care.
Cassidy suggested that Republicans need to engage in a two-pronged approach: #1 in which the GOP can pass bipartisan legislation to increase healthcare price transparency and curb surprise bills, and #2 in which Republicans offer a dynamic alternative to Medicare for All.
The Lousiana Republican contended the GOP has the prevailing ideas on health care and can win on health care in the face of a rising national interest in a single-payer, government-run healthcare program such as Medicare for All.

I've got a wild-ares crazy idea, let private insurance companies offer several tiers of policies to the Public and let the Public pick and choose the coverage from any State they choose that best suits themselves and their families. Then, the doctors and hospitals can either work on a direct from the patient cash basis or get paid by the patients' insurance companies. Keep the government's role limited to only the tax funded Medicaid type coverage for the very poor & disabled which would never be funded from insurance premiums paid by the private sector.
Cutting out the 40,000 government administrators we have now.
