WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) expressed her dissatisfaction with the Biden administration's final rule on Association Health Plans (AHP). The rule prohibits small businesses from joining together to provide affordable health care options to their workers.

Foxx stated, "Hardworking Americans want affordable health care options—this is a simple fact. They do not want misguided edicts from the Biden administration that limit their options or put high-quality care out of their reach. The administration’s final rule fails on every mark, moving us backwards, not forwards, in providing Americans more ways to get high-quality, low-cost health care."

The final rule by the Biden administration has drawn criticism from Foxx, who believes that it restricts the ability of small businesses to offer high-quality, low-cost coverage to their employees. Foxx's statement highlights the concerns regarding the impact of the new rule on Americans' access to affordable health care options.
