Support HB 139: Affordable Mandate-Lite Coverage Options for Texas Businesses

Texas faces rising health care costs driven by an increasing number of state-mandated coverage requirements. With only 27% of small employers able to offer health benefits, many businesses struggle to afford coverage. HB 139 aims to address this challenge by allowing insurers to provide mandate-lite plans that lower premiums while maintaining essential federal protections. By expanding access to more affordable options, this legislation supports small businesses, reduces uninsured rates, and gives employers greater flexibility in choosing health plans that fit their needs.
