Statement from The LIBRE Initiative on H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Act of 2025

The LIBRE Initiative, the nation’s largest center-right Hispanic organization, urges Congress to vote YES on H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Act of 2025, led by Congresswoman Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa.

This legislation takes a clear and meaningful step toward expanding opportunity and affordability in health care by legalizing CHOICE Arrangements for Association Health Plans.

By empowering workers, small businesses, and independent contractors to band together and access more flexible, portable coverage, H.R. 6703 would help millions of working Latino families find plans that fit their needs—while fostering competition that drives premiums down.

The urgency for reform is clear. A LIBRE Institute poll conducted earlier this year found that over 78% of Latinos believe health care costs are rising, and many identified affordability as one of the most important issues facing their families.  An overwhelming 96% of Latinos support health care reform, and the same percentage expressed strong support for a more personalized approach that provides flexibility in how health care plans are used.

Congress faces a clear choice: stand with working-class families to tackle rising premiums and expand options—or continue down a path that funnels billions to insurance companies with little reform or oversight. H.R. 6703 puts patients and families first, increases choice, and promotes a more competitive health care marketplace. On behalf of the thousands of Latino constituents represented by Congresswoman Miller-Meeks and Latinos from across the country, the LIBRE Initiative calls on lawmakers to seize this opportunity and vote YES on H.R. 6703—for affordability, flexibility, and a health care system that works for all Americans.

Sandra Benitez, Executive Director for The LIBRE Initiative released the following statement:

“Latino families are clear: health care must be more affordable, flexible, and responsive to their needs. H.R. 6703 answers that call by empowering workers and small businesses to access better coverage options, and escape one-size-fits-all insurance mandates. Congress has an opportunity to move away from policies that protect insurers and toward reforms that put patients first—and this bill does exactly that.”
