Overview
AHIP believes that all Americans should have both high-quality and affordable health insurance coverage choices. We do not believe – and facts do not support – that a public health insurance option would produce that outcome. Instead, a federal public option would ultimately deliver higher taxes and fewer choices. It would harm the people who like and rely on the coverage they have today and the providers that serve them. We urge you to advance policies that build on what works by strengthening the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to lower health care costs, increase coverage choices, and encourage competition and innovation to make coverage more affordable and accessible for everyone.
