""By the way, women make 80% of the healthcare decisions on where you're going to go. They're great shoppers,""
""Instead of empowering insurance companies, we want to empower you - the consumer.""
Sen. Roger Marshall promoted the Republican healthcare plan on Newsmax and MS Now using identical talking points that praised women as primary healthcare decision-makers and framed policy as empowering consumers rather than insurance companies. He said women make 80% of healthcare choices and called them "great shoppers," while asserting the plan would empower patients. Marshall simultaneously maintains a strong anti-abortion record, having blocked multiple abortion-rights bills and opposing reproductive autonomy. The juxtaposition of consumer empowerment rhetoric with policies that limit reproductive healthcare highlights a contradiction between claimed support for individual choice and concrete actions that curtail women's bodily autonomy.
