WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.-08) penned an op-ed for The Washington Examiner highlighting the importance of putting healthcare decisions back in the hands of patients, not federal bureaucrats.   

“When Congress returns decisions to patients and their doctors, the entire system will benefit. The experience of seeking care will become less confusing, healthcare providers will be able to advise patients more appropriately, and quality of care will improve. In turn, I believe patients will be more likely to obtain preventive care when they need it and many of the healthcare workforce problems currently faced across the country will be mediated.

“We know our healthcare system is broken, but I believe with smart legislation, we can work to get Washington out of the doctor’s office and put healthcare decisions back in the hands of patients. This Congress, I am confident we can begin to address some of these challenges and help build a better healthcare system for the benefit of all,” Dr. Bucshon wrote.
