Dan Crenshaw Instagram – Today is a huge win for patients everywhere — the House passed a bill that makes sense (shocker).   My bipartisan Medicaid Primary Care Improvement Act incentivizes a form of healthcare that is better for patients and for the American taxpayer.   Let me explain — direct primary care is one of the easiest and more direct ways to deliver primary care to patients. It is a payment model that makes sense… you pay a monthly fee, and you get unlimited access to a primary care physician. That’s it. This keeps vulnerable patients out of the costly emergency room, gives them the care they need, and saves money for our entire healthcare system.   My bill is straight forward and zero cost. It clarifies that current laws don’t prohibit direct primary care arrangements, while offering guidance for States that want to use direct primary care in their Medicaid programs, including my home state of Texas.   My bill passed out of the House, but it doesn’t end here. Now it’s the Senate’s turn. The Senate should take up this bill and pass it so our most vulnerable Americans get the healthcare they deserve.
