"Today's vote is a step in the right direction to bring down premium costs, expand choice, and require price transparency for prescription drugs. Alongside members on both sides of the aisle, I will continue our fight to ensure that every family in our community has the peace of mind that comes with accessible, affordable health care." - Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz
Background:
The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act addresses the rising cost of health care across the country by:
Empowering Families: Expands Choice Accounts (HRAs and FSAs) to give families more choice and control over their healthcare spending
Increasing Drug Price Transparency: Requires accountability from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to be transparent on prescription costs
Supporting Small Business: Expands Association Health Plans, so small businesses and self-employers can band together to access more choices and lower rates
