The Week in Review 

I hope you had a wonderful week. I am grateful to serve you all in the 119th Congress. Read below to see what I’ve been working on this week.

Leading Push for Robust, Conservative
Health Care Reform Framework

I delivered a comprehensive healthcare framework to House Speaker Mike Johnson, calling for immediate action on long-overdue conservative reform. The letter lays out a clear, detailed blueprint built on freedom, affordability, and patient choice, while rejecting the failed policies, inflated subsidies, and insurance-company carve-outs that have defined the failed Unaffordable Care Act.

My framework highlights concrete, ready-to-implement policies that are already drafted, vetted, and in many cases prepared for floor action:

• Rep. Greg Steube’s ACCESS Act (H.R. 1157) redirects federal support to families instead of insurance companies and expands competition across state lines.
  
• Sen. Rick Scott’s More Affordable Care Act strengthens price transparency and delivers patient-controlled funding to lower premiums.
  
• My Health Savings Accounts for All Act expands and modernizes HSAs by lifting limits and allowing funds to cover a broader range of expenses.
  
• OBBBA HSA Expansion (Section 71307) enhances HSA eligibility and flexibility, including for premiums and prescriptions.
  
• Rep. Eric Burlison’s MAHA Accounts Proposal sends federal dollars directly to policyholders to let families pick any insurance product they want.
  
• Rep. Tim Walberg’s Association Health Plans Act (H.R. 2528) allows small businesses to band together for more affordable group coverage.
  
• Rep. Kevin Hern’s Choice Arrangement Act (H.R. 5463) strengthens ICHRAs to give workers portable, tax-advantaged dollars for the plan of their choice.
  
• My Health Coverage Choice Act (H.R. 90) codifies Trump’s 2018 rule allowing long-term, flexible coverage for up to ten years.
  
• Rep. Bob Onder’s Self-Insurance Protection Act (H.R. 2571) protects small employers’ access to stop-loss insurance to keep self-insured premiums affordable.
  
• Rep. Chip Roy’s Direct Medical Care Freedom Act (H.R. 1140) allows patients to use tax-advantaged dollars for direct primary care arrangements.
  
• Rep. Gary Palmer’s New Health Options Act (H.R. 1776) creates an alternative market outside Obamacare with guaranteed coverage for preexisting conditions at lower cost.
  
• Rep. Chris Smith’s No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 7) codifies and strengthens Hyde Amendment protections to block federal funds from financing abortion.
  
• Rep. Morgan Griffith’s Program Integrity and Anti-Fraud Reforms cracks down on fraud by strengthening income verification, ending silver loading, and codifying Trump-era integrity rules.
  
• Rep. Andy Harris’s Cash-Pay Patient Protections prevents discrimination against cash-paying patients to protect price competition.

It’s past time to reject the failing status quo and lead with bold solutions.

The House must lead with clarity and conviction. These reforms are ready, they’re proven, and they should be on the floor immediately. If Republicans draw a clear line today, we can finally rebuild a health care system anchored in conservative principles and return control to patients rather than bureaucrats or insurance companies.

Republicans are overflowing with solutions; we have the ideas, the legislation, and the mandate from the American people. What we lack is urgency. It’s time to show the country the depth of our ideas and the strength of our vision. Now is the moment to act.

Breitbart News covered the letter here. 

House Passes Bipartisan Legislation to
Simplify the Federal Criminal Code

The House passed Congressman Chip Roy’s Count the Crimes to Cut Act. I have long spoken out against the federal government’s habitual practice of codifying absurd amounts of federal criminal offenses, and I am thankful to be a co-lead on Rep. Roy’s bill. The Count the Crimes to Cut Act requires the Department of Justice to produce a public report and database outlining all federal criminal statutory offenses and directs federal agencies to do the same for all criminal regulatory offenses.

The passage of the Count the Crimes to Cut Act is a major step toward restoring the rule of law. Overcriminalization is one of the most destructive features of the modern federal leviathan, and Americans deserve a government that doesn't hide criminal offenses in a maze of statutes and regulations. This bill brings us closer to peeling back the layers of federal crimes that have become ridiculous and burdensome for the American people. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to advance this legislation swiftly so we can get it to President Trump's desk.

I debated in favor of Rep. Roy’s bill on the House Floor. Click the image below to watch my remarks:

Tele-Town Hall Wrap Up

I hosted my virtual tele-town hall last Wednesday. Thousands of constituents joined the call to hear updates on my work in Congress and ask me questions. We discussed the Republicans’ ongoing work to codify President Trump’s America First priorities, my legislation to honor and support our veterans, and the incompatibility of Sharia Law with Western values. Thank you to all who joined and asked questions! If you missed it, click the image below to watch a recap:

                              Veterans Events
A member of my district staff attended Veterans Affinity, a coffee event for service members. My team spoke about three veterans-related bills I proposed earlier this month. You can read more about them here.
