Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced a plan to lower the cost of health insurance in the state. The plan, which was revealed at a roundtable event with small business owners, aims to expand access to affordable health insurance for Texans.
Support from Small Business Owners
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Texas’ leading small business advocacy organization, has expressed strong support for the Governor’s plan. NFIB State Director Jeff Burdett called the move an “excellent first step” in addressing the rising cost of health insurance in the state.
“Allowing Main Street employers to access health insurance plans that are exempt from state-mandated coverage requirements will give more Texans access to affordable health insurance,” Burdett said. “This is an excellent first step in addressing the rising cost of health insurance in our state. Health insurance costs have been the number one concern for small business owners for nearly 40 years.”
