Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05)
Congressman Biggs delivered a comprehensive healthcare framework to House Leadership, calling forimmediate action on long-overdue conservative reform. The letter lays out a clear, detailed blueprint built on freedom, affordability, and patient choice, while rejecting the failed policies, inflated subsidies, and insurance-company carve-outs that have defined the failed Unaffordable Care Act.
Congressman Biggs’s framework highlights concrete, ready-to-implement policies that are already drafted, vetted, and in many cases prepared for floor action:
- Rep. Greg Steube’s ACCESS Act (H.R. 1157) redirects federal support to families instead of insurance companies and expands competition across state lines.
- Sen. Rick Scott’s More Affordable Care Act strengthens price transparency and delivers patient-controlled funding to lower premiums.
- Rep. Andy Biggs’s own Health Savings Accounts for All Act expands and modernizes HSAs by lifting limits and allowing funds to cover a broader range of expenses.
- OBBBA HSA Expansion (Section 71307) enhances HSA eligibility and flexibility, including for premiums and prescriptions.
- Rep. Eric Burlison’s MAHA Accounts Proposal sends federal dollars directly to policyholders to let families pick any insurance product they want.
- Rep. Tim Walberg’s Association Health Plans Act (H.R. 2528) allows small businesses to band together for more affordable group coverage.
- Rep. Kevin Hern’s Choice Arrangement Act (H.R. 5463) strengthens ICHRAs to give workers portable, tax-advantaged dollars for the plan of their choice.
- Rep. Andy Biggs own Health Coverage Choice Act (H.R. 90) codifies Trump’s 2018 rule allowing long-term, flexible coverage for up to ten years.
- Rep. Bob Onder’s Self-Insurance Protection Act (H.R. 2571) protects small employers’ access to stop-loss insurance to keep self-insured premiums affordable.
- Rep. Chip Roy’s Direct Medical Care Freedom Act (H.R. 1140) allows patients to use tax-advantaged dollars for direct primary care arrangements.
- Rep. Gary Palmer’s New Health Options Act (H.R. 1776) creates an alternative market outside Obamacare with guaranteed coverage for preexisting conditions at lower cost.
- Rep. Chris Smith’s No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 7) codifies and strengthens Hyde Amendment protections to block federal funds from financing abortion.
- Rep. Morgan Griffith’s Program Integrity and Anti-Fraud Reforms cracks down on fraud by strengthening income verification, ending silver loading, and codifying Trump-era integrity rules.
- Rep. Andy Harris’s Cash-Pay Patient Protections prevents discrimination against cash-paying patients to protect price competition.
“It’s past time to reject the failing status quo and lead with bold solutions,” said Congressman Biggs.
“The House must lead with clarity and conviction. These reforms are ready, they’re proven, and they should be on the floor immediately. If Republicans draw a clear line today, we can finally rebuild a health care system anchored in conservative principles and return control to patients rather than bureaucrats or insurance companies.
“Republicans are overflowing with solutions; we have the ideas, the legislation, and the mandate from the American people. What we lack is urgency. It’s time to show the country the depth of our ideas and the strength of our vision. Now is the moment to act.”
Cosigners of the letter include: Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), and Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ).
