Rep. Gosar Introduces PRIMR Act to Combat Costly Health Insurance Regulations

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after introducing H.R.2819, the Premium Reduction and Insurance Market Reform Act (PRIMR):

"With the verdict of King v. Burwell looming, the healthcare reform conversation has focused on the fate of federal subsidies for insurance premiums initiated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, this puts the focus on the symptoms of our ailing healthcare system and ignores the root cause. It is vitally important that we first address the primary driver of unaffordable premiums under Obamacare -- onerous insurance regulations.

"It comes as no surprise to most people that Obamacare has been a disaster. Skyrocketing premiums, a terrible rollout and the constant manipulation of the American people to implement this awful government run healthcare system confirm that fact. My bill will lower premiums for the 21 million Americans that have been negatively impacted by the systematic failures of Obamacare's federal exchanges."

"Only full repeal can solve all of Obamacare's problems, but my legislation will provide an attractive alternative for states and will ensure that future repeal efforts and health care reforms will be built on solid ground."
