“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my amendment No. 225. Last year, the Trump administration finalized a rule to allow employers to use flexible health reimbursement arrangements, HRAs, to fund insurance premiums for coverage purchased on the individual market. This will allow more Americans to shop for their own coverage and allow more employers to provide quality health benefits. Expanding the use of HRAs will increase overall coverage by 800,000 and provide strong protections for those with preexisting conditions. Congress needs to provide certainty for employers who want to provide this benefit. That is why my amendment would ensure that no funds in this act may be used to withdraw the final HRA rule. Mr. Speaker, I urge the House to adopt my commonsense amendment.”
