CVA Urges House to Pass HR-6703 to Lower Health Care Premiums and Expand Patient Choice

ARLINGTON, Va. ― Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) today announced its strong support for HR-6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, urging members of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote YES ahead of the upcoming floor vote.  

Veterans understand the real-world consequences of government-run health care systems that limit choice, delay care, and put bureaucracy ahead of patients. HR-6703 takes meaningful steps to move the American health care system in the opposite direction –toward affordability, flexibility, and personal choice. 

“This legislation is a commonsense effort to bring down health care costs and give Americans more control over how and where they receive care,” said John Vick, Executive Director of Concerned Veterans for America. “For veterans, troops, working families, and seniors alike, expanding access to affordable coverage options is long overdue.” 

HR-6703 would lower premiums and increase competition by expanding health insurance options, reducing insurer-driven cost inflation, and empowering consumers rather than insurance companies or federal bureaucracies. For veterans navigating private insurance alongside VA community care, for military families relying on TRICARE, and for civilians struggling in the individual market, choice and affordability matter. 

Under current federal health care policy, families face skyrocketing premiums, shrinking provider networks, and rising out-of-pocket costs, all while access to timely care continues to decline. Veterans have lived this reality inside the VA system, where lack of competition and rigid structures too often result in delayed or denied care. 

“The House has an opportunity to take a clear step toward fixing what’s broken,” Vick added. “HR-6703 builds on recent reforms that put patients first and moves us closer to a system where Americans, not Washington, make their own health care decisions.”
