Vice President J.D. Vance argues that fixing American health care requires breaking the old rules, embracing competition, and not being afraid of ideas that make people uncomfortable. Health care in America is stuck in a rut of rising costs, patchwork programs, and a system that rewards paperwork over patients. Republicans have been pushing for a simple premise: make health care work by giving people control, rewarding innovation, and cutting red tape that drives up prices. Vance’s message fits that playbook by insisting bold change beats incremental tinkering that preserves the status quo. “Vice President J.D. Vance said the only way…
