Begich III | B001323 | begich.house.gov | begich | https://begich.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Dec. 17, 2025 – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, which expands access to quality care and provides every American with more options and flexibility. Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK), who voted in favor of the legislation, released the following statement: “The passage of the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act is an important step toward fixing a broken healthcare system. For more than a decade, the health insurance system created by Democrats under Obamacare has proven completely unaffordable for the American health insurance customer. Premiums have skyrocketed, choices have disappeared, and American families are paying more every year for a product that fails to make us healthier. We must now construct a system that delivers results - a system where Americans can honestly say they are getting their money’s worth. For healthcare to be delivered well, the products must be transparent, competitive, and built around the customer. This legislation begins addressing the real drivers of high costs by expanding affordable options for small businesses and workers, reducing premiums in the individual market, and bringing long-overdue transparency to the prescription drug supply chain. Instead of writing more blank checks to insurance companies - companies which have actual incentive to deny coverage and increase rates, the legislation focuses on lowering prices and increasing choice. The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act helps move us away from a failing healthcare system and toward real reform that puts patients first and delivers a better value for the healthcare customer.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
