Action is Needed to Expand Health Care Choices

Statement

Friend-

I wanted to update you on my efforts to expand health care choices, increase access to care, and reduce costs for Virginians.

Since 2013, average Virginia residents buying health insurance through the ACA marketplace have seen a 77 percent increase in their monthly premiums. Small businesses have opted to hire part-time employees or not expand because providing health insurance benefits is cost-prohibitive. Even families with employer-provided insurance have seen fewer options and skyrocketing deductibles. In Virginia, Aetna, a major health provider, recently quit the federal marketplace leaving 24 Virginia counties with only one health insurance choice.
Action is necessary to replace the current failing and broken health care policies. I support reforms that will give individuals and families more control and choice over their health care decisions while increasing flexibility for states to deliver quality, affordable health care options to their residents.

Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime an issue that concerns you comes before the House.

It's an honor to serve you and Virginia's First District in the People's House.

Sincerely,

Rob
