Ohio families and small businesses continue to face unprecedented healthcare costs, making it increasingly difficult for my constituents to access affordable, high-quality care. Since the enactment of the so-called Affordable Care Act in 2010, healthcare costs have risen dramatically, with premiums increasing by more than 25 percent over the last 5 years. This trend makes clear that our Nation's healthcare system needs reform to lower costs for patients and ensure stability for providers. The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act is a critical step forward in curbing rising premiums, expanding choice, and improving transparency. The legislation includes provisions to improve affordability, particularly for small businesses, along with cost-sharing reduction funding and PBM reforms. As we move toward these goals, I urge the adoption of the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act and remain committed to reforming a broken healthcare system, increasing choice and competition to lower healthcare costs for our Nation.
