Texas Business Group Backs Abbott Proposal to Expand Affordable Health Coverage Options
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Association of Business (TAB) has endorsed Governor Greg Abbott's Essential Health Benefits plan, which aims to provide affordable health insurance options for Texas employers. This proposal would allow businesses to offer federally compliant health plans without additional state mandates that increase costs. TAB estimates that typical Texas families could save approximately $1,145 annually, while small businesses could reduce health insurance costs by over $3,400 per employee each year. With 16.6% of Texans uninsured, the plan seeks to improve access to health coverage and support small businesses in a challenging economic environment.
