AUSTIN, TEXAS — Today, the Texas House Republican Caucus issued the following statement in response to the rollout of the "Healthy Families, Healthy Texas" initiative, a health care reform bill package announced earlier today by Speaker Dade Phelan and a coalition of House members:
“The Texas House Republican Caucus applauds Speaker Dade Phelan and the coalition of Republican members spearheading the effort to provide greater transparency, affordability, and accessibility in our health care market through the "Healthy Families, Health Texas" plan they rolled out today. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Texans faced tough choices when seeking health care. Unexpected bills, rising costs, and limited access to care have put a strain on everyday folks who are simply trying to live healthy lives. With the passage of this legislative package, Texas will connect you to the care you need."
