Walberg Introduces Bill to Expand Health Care Options for Small Businesses

Today, Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) introduced the Association Health Plans Act, which would expand health care options and lower costs for small businesses through association health plans (AHPs). Walberg was joined by Chair Virginia Foxx (NC-05), Rep. Rick Allen (GA-12), Rep. Michael Burgess (TX-26), Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), and Rep. Bob Good (VA-05) in introducing the legislation.

“The Association Health Plans Act will provide small businesses with greater bargaining power, allowing them to offer more quality health care options for workers at a better price,” said Rep. Walberg. “Small businesses and their employees will be empowered when making health coverage decisions. With small businesses still trying to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, I look forward to seeing this legislation advance through the legislative process.“
