WATCH: Sen. Roger Marshall Lays Out Trump’s Patient-First Health-Care Vision
Kansas Senator Roger Marshall, a physician who spent decades practicing medicine before entering Congress, appeared yesterday on My View with Lara Trump to outline the Republican health-care framework that directly challenges the Democrat-engineered Obamacare system.
The interview offered one of the most straightforward explanations yet of why Democrats continue to defend a model that rewards insurance corporations rather than patients, and why President Trump’s return to a consumer-centered approach is gaining national momentum.
Marshall began with a statistic Democrats rarely acknowledge: under Obamacare, the federal government now transfers roughly $150 billion every year to large insurance companies.
As he explained, the law was written by those same corporations, whose interests shaped the subsidy structure and the mandatory enrollment rules.
Instead of empowering patients to make their own choices, Obamacare locks families into narrow networks and rising premiums while delivering guaranteed taxpayer revenue to insurers.
Marshall highlighted the most alarming consequence: the surge of “ghost patients” that Obamacare makes possible.
According to federal data he cited, 35% of individuals counted as Obamacare enrollees file zero claims.
Insurance brokers can sign people up with nothing more than a name and birthdate, and the government pays the full premium whether the person uses the coverage or even knows they were enrolled.
Marshall called it one of the largest structural fraud problems in federal health care, and he emphasized that Democrats have controlled Obamacare for 15 years, making them fully responsible for the system’s failures.
Lara Trump then played a clip of President Trump describing the alternative: redirecting subsidy dollars away from insurers and back to the American people.
Trump’s proposal allows families to take that same federal funding and purchase plans directly, place the money into health savings accounts, and negotiate prices with full transparency.
Hospitals would be required to post real costs upfront, ending the decades-long practice of concealing prices until after treatment.
Marshall endorsed the plan without hesitation.
He explained that no functioning market can exist without price transparency, noting that consumers would never walk into a restaurant without seeing a menu.
Yet in health care, Americans routinely receive treatment without knowing the cost until weeks later.
This approach, he said, strips families of control and drives prices upward—a problem Trump’s reforms correct by restoring patients to the center of the system.
Toward the end of the interview, Marshall contrasted the country under Trump versus the conditions left by Democrats.
He pointed to safer streets in Washington, lower gas prices, falling interest rates, and a revitalized trade agenda—eight major deals already progressing—compared to Joe Biden’s complete absence of achievements on trade, health-care reform, or cost reduction.
The debate is now unmistakable: Democrats want more subsidies for insurance companies, while President Trump and Senator Marshall are working to give Americans transparency, choice, and direct control over their own health care.
