Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Putting Patients First Healthcare Freedom Act, a robust legislative package that organizes the most impactful conservative healthcare reforms into one actionable blueprint. The bill brings together proven legislative proposals from across the Republican Conference and President Trump’s priorities and consolidates them into a single, Floor-ready plan to lower premiums, restore competition, empower families, and protect life.
The Putting Patients First Healthcare Freedom Act integrates widely-supported reforms that are already drafted, vetted, and in many cases ready for committee or Floor consideration. The legislation is structured around three major titles:
Title I—Putting Patients Over Insurance Companies
- Redirects federal support to families instead of insurance companies, expanding HSAs, strengthening transparency, protecting Health Care Sharing Ministries, and requiring up-front pricing
Title II—Codifying President Trump’s Healthcare Freedom Agenda
- Expands affordable options outside of rigid Obamacare mandates for impactful market-driven reforms, including Association Health Plans, ICHRAs/Choice Arrangements, self-insurance protections, expanded catastrophic plans, long-term short-term coverage, small-business flexibility, and a new alternative market with lower premiums and guaranteed coverage
Title III—Ending Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Gender Transition Procedures
- Permanently codifies Hyde-style protections, closes Obamacare loopholes, and bars federal dollars from funding transgender surgeries
“The American people are being strangled by a broken healthcare system, and it is long past time for Republicans to confront it with real reform centered around freedom, affordability, and real choice,” said Congressman Biggs.
“Republicans already have the ideas, the policy work, and the legislation. My bill simply consolidates everything into a coherent, comprehensive plan that can move immediately, demonstrating the urgency to address these issues.
“Republicans are ready to lead. America is watching. It’s time to move.”
Cosponsors of the bill include: Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) and Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN).
