Texas Employers for Affordable Health Care played a key role in the passage of House Bill 711, a landmark piece of legislation that addresses the growing challenge of rising hospital costs and anti-competitive contracting practices. HB 711 bans certain anti-competitive clauses in hospital contracts, increases transparency, and helps restore negotiating power for employers and health plans.

This victory lays the foundation for future reforms. We’re now working to expand our influence, amplify the voice of Texas employers, and continue pushing for legislative solutions that lower costs, increase transparency, and protect employer-sponsored health coverage.
