Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after voting in favor of the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act:

"The underlying issue here is this: the Affordable Care Act is not affordable," said Congressman Cole. "President Obama and the Democrats created a program Americans cannot afford, that works for big insurance companies, instead of patients, and that is filled with waste, fraud, and abuse. Now, as a result, House Republicans are trying to fix what has been broken through the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act."

"In stark contrast with the Left's irresponsible proposal to extend Covid-era subsidies on top of the subsidies Obamacare already offers, this Republican solution offers a more productive and long-term fix to the healthcare crisis. Through five critical reforms, our legislation will broaden insurance options for employers, workers, and families, which will, in turn, drive down health insurance premium costs by at least 11 percent starting January 1, 2026," said Congressman Cole.

"At the end of the day, the American people deserve a health care system that puts them and their pocketbooks first - and this legislation does just that. I am proud to have voted in favor of this bill today, and I hope to see it move through the legislative process and be signed into law," said Congressman Cole.
