Lowering Health Care Costs for All Americans

This week I voted to pass the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act to lower health care costs for hardworking Texans and families across the country. This legislation will lower health care premium costs by 11% through cost-sharing reduction payments, increase price transparency, and better support small business owners. 

Since its inception, Obamacare has failed to deliver on its promises, leaving millions of Americans with higher premiums, fewer choices, and less coverage. It is plagued by fraud and waste of taxpayer dollars. Today, the average family premium is nearing $27,000—a number simply unaffordable. 

I believe this legislation is a solid first step in House Republicans' ongoing work to fix America's broken health care system and put patients first. Unfortunately, every single House Democrat voted against this measure, which was a vote for keeping Americans trapped in a broken system.
