WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) issued a statement after voting to pass H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act.
The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act would expand association health plans (AHPs), safeguard access to employer-sponsored insurance, advance cost-sharing reductions, and increase transparency of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to help lower prescription drug costs.
“The ACA is a mess, and this bill is just a small correction. I supported the effort, but we have a tremendous amount of bad policy baked into the ACA,” said Congressman Higgins. “The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act promotes solutions that help stabilize the market, protect affordability, and expand access to quality care. My office will continue working to put patients first and protect Americans’ ability to have the freedom to choose health care that fits their individual needs.”
