A House Republican introduced a health care bill on Dec. 12 aimed at making insurance more affordable and transparent for Americans, following the Senate’s failure to advance two dueling bills that addressed the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The “Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act,” introduced by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa), would allow Americans to review the true cost of drugs, give them lower premiums and help employers have flexibility with health insurance plans.
