Democrats Want Government to Deny Doctors, Hospitals the Right to Choose Which Plans to Participate In
Democrats voted against an amendment offered by Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA) to ban the Health and Human Services Secretary from forcing providers to participate in the government-run plan. Republicans believe it is wrong to force anyone to offer services in this plan that will underpay doctors and hospitals.
This amendment to ensure providers aren’t compelled to see patients enrolled in the government-run plan was defeated 25-16
