Health care affordability remains a major challenge for small businesses. The U.S. House of Representatives passed The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, or H.R. 6703, which will give small businesses affordable health care options that have been a top problem for decades. NFIB sent a letter to the U.S. House in support of the legislation and announced it as a Key Vote for the 119^th Congress.  

The bill includes provisions that expand health care options for small business owners and facilitate transparency to Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). It also allows small businesses to leverage purchasing power and lower costs by joining Association Health Plans (AHPs). This encourages competition and freedom of choice, lowering costs and allowing the flexibility small businesses need to provide health care for their employees.  

NFIB members have consistently ranked the cost of health care as their number one problem in NFIB’s Problems and Priorities Survey every year since 1986. The U.S. House recently passed this bill, so now it goes to the Senate for a vote. Read the full letter of support for H.R. 6703.
