Moolenaar Votes to Lower Health Care Costs

Congressman John Moolenaar voted for the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. This legislation reforms the health care system to lower costs, expand choice, and increase transparency for Michigan families and seniors.

"Obamacare has forced health care costs through the roof. This legislation will help Michigan families choose the affordable health insurance they want," said Moolenaar. "Additionally, we are lowering drug costs for Michigan seniors by requiring middlemen to be transparent and honest about their pricing."

Specifically, the legislation expands association health plans and CHOICE Arrangements to give small businesses and their employees access to more affordable health care options, protects stop-loss insurance for small employers, funds cost-sharing reductions to reduce premiums in the individual market. The bill also requires pharmacy benefit managers to be transparent with employers.
