New Biden Admin Regulation Threatens Access to Affordable Health Care for Millions

Press Release

Date: July 7, 2023
Location: Washington, DC

"An affordable insurance option for many Americans is now under attack by the Biden Administration, whose top-down, one-size-fits-all approach to health care has only driven up insurance premiums for millions of Americans. This new Biden rule ignores the fact that short-term, limited-duration insurance coverage is used by 1.5 million Americans and the annual cost can be nearly 60 percent more affordable than the lowest cost Obamacare plan. Imposing new restrictions on short-term plans will stifle competition, drive up costs, limit the number of lower-premium options available, and in some case outright takeaway the coverage many Americans have and can afford today.

The American people, not Washington bureaucrats, should be the ones deciding what health care coverage is the best for themselves and their families. That is why Republicans have been working to give Americans more choices to pick coverage that fits their needs at a price they can afford. Just last month, the House of Representatives passed a package of legislation that gives Americans more flexibility and choices in their health care coverage and supports small businesses and workers looking to find affordable options. Those are the types of policies that will lower prices and make health care more accessible for the American people, not more Washington mandates."
