Rep. Barry Moore supports the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act

Washington, D.C.- Today, Congressman Barry Moore (AL-01) voted in favor of the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, legislation designed to fix the damage caused by Democrats’ so-called "Affordable Care Act" and bring meaningful relief to American families.

“All Americans deserve a health care system that puts patients first and offers more choices for affordable, quality care," said Congressman Moore. "The Affordable Care Act has failed to deliver on its promises, causing costs to skyrocket, limiting options, and weakening quality of care while becoming a magnet for fraud. House Republicans' plan restores integrity to our health care system with commonsense solutions to lower premiums, expand access, increase transparency, and protect small businesses while ensuring no taxpayer money funds abortions. I am proud to support this plan that will deliver real relief for American families.”

The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act:

• Lowers premiums through cost-sharing reduction payments and appropriates payments to stabilize the individual market with the goal of lowering premium costs by 11%, while also reducing out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles and copays. This provision has strong bipartisan precedent.
• Increases transparency in prescription drug costs, requiring pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to provide clear, detailed reporting on drug spending, rebates, and pricing decisions, giving employers and employees the transparency they need to reduce costs.
• Expands Association Health Plans for small businesses and independent workers by allowing small employers and self-employed individuals to band together across industries to access more affordable, higher-quality plans - restoring a Trump-era policy rescinded by the Biden Administration.
• Enhances employee choice through codification of a 2019 Trump administration rule enabling employees to use tax-free dollars from their employer to purchase the health care plan that best suits their needs, providing greater flexibility and control.
• Protects small businesses from costly regulatory overreach by clarifying regulations regarding reinsurance and stop-loss insurance to ensure small businesses can continue offering flexible, affordable health care options for their employees.
• Keeps the Hyde Amendment, ensuring no taxpayer money will be funding abortions.
