S. 107
The Self-Care Act
To replace the Affordable Care Act of 2010 with affordable, quality self-care tips for all Americans.
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Mr. CRUZ (for himself, Mr. McCONNELL, Mr. RUBIO, and Mr. PAUL) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
A BILL
That is way better than the Affordable Care Act of 2010. We promise.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; INTRODUCTION, TABLE OF DIVISIONS, TITLES, AND SUBTITLES.
a.) SHORT TITLE. — This Act may be cited as the “Self-Care Act of 2017.”
b.) INTRODUCTION. — The Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) will be replaced with the Self-Care Act. Americans surviving under the SCA will be provided with helpful and cost-effective self-care tips that can be performed without the assistance of medical professionals. Tax-paying Americans will no longer be burdened with paying for a broken healthcare system (cough, Obamacare, cough). Those insured under the Self-Care Act cannot be denied health care for pre-existing conditions because they will be their own healthcare providers. Think of this bill as providing assurance instead of insurance.
