Under
Obamacare,
insurance
options
dwindling
Indiana
no
longer
has
an
insurance
provider
within
the
individual
market
that
covers
the
entire
state.
That
includes
four
counties
that
have
no
coverage
options
on
the
exchange.
Rising
costs
are
driving
insurers
out
of
the
market
as
the
system
continues
to
collapse
on
itself.
We
must
act
in
order
to
stabilize
markets
and
ensure
Hoosiers
have
access
to
affordable
and
quality
options.
I
am
reviewing
the
Senate
healthcare
discussion
draft
and
speaking
with
folks
at
home,
but
one
thing
is
clear:
doing
nothing
is
not
an
option.
Obamacare
has
failed
Hoosiers
as
prices
have
skyrocketed,
insurers
have
left
the
marketplace
leaving
severely
limited
choices,
and
deductibles
have
risen
to
a
level
where,
for
some,
insurance
is
useless.
Obamacare’s
continuous
collapse
will
eventually
leave
Hoosiers
without
insurance.
I
am
committed
to
improving
our
nation’s
health
care
system
so
everyone
has
the
opportunity
to
access
high
quality
and
affordable
care.
I
spoke
with
Fox59's
Dan
Spehler
on
INFocus
about
the
discussion
draft
and
elaborated
how
we
must
reverse
the
damage
Obamacare
has
done
to
the
American
healthcare
system
and
the
undue
strain
it
has
placed
on
so
many
Hoosiers.
Expert
Panel
Examines
World
Health
Organization
Preparedness
for
Pandemics
The
international
community
confronts
a
growing
and
serious
pandemic
threat.
Last
week,
I
chaired
an
expert
panel
to
examine
the
World
Health
Organization’s
preparations
for
a
possible
global
health
pandemic.
Unfortunately,
the
WHO
has
numerous
shortcomings
in
its
preparations
for
the
threat
and
Dr.
Rebecca
Katz,
one
of
the
expert
panelists,
cited
pandemic
modelers
who
say
there
is
a
high
probability
of
a
large-scale
influenza
pandemic
in
the
next
10-30
years.
That
potential
pandemic
would
put
tens
of
millions
of
lives
in
danger.
It’s
important
to
note
that
pandemics
know
no
national
borders
and
simply
preparing
the
United
States
for
a
pandemic
is
insufficient.
