House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Dec. 12 threw his weight behind the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, one of several Republican proposals for lowering the cost of health care.

“House Republicans are tackling the real drivers of health care costs to provide affordable care, increase access and choice, and restore integrity to our nation’s health care system for all Americans,” Johnson said when he asked lawmakers to support the plan.
