| John,
In 2023 alone, you’ve helped pass Personal Option-style health care reforms in 12 states, including hard-fought wins in Arizona, Florida, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
As a reminder and thank you for all you do as an activist for opportunity and prosperity, I’ll tell you the story of the 7 wins in Texas …
Americans for Prosperity helped enact seven health care reform bills in Texas this year — reforms consistent with AFP’s Personal Option plan that reduces government control and expands patient access to better care at more affordable prices.
These signature wins were made possible by a combination of grassroots capabilities, direct lobbying, and highly targeted mailers and digital ads.
And they serve to shift the foundation of health policy in Texas in the right direction AND be an example to rest of America.
What are these wins?
Two top ones include: - Expanding direct primary care so more Texans can receive unlimited access to primary care and preventative services for a flat monthly fee.
- Allowing individuals and small businesses to band together to buy health insurance through association health plans.
AFP worked alongside state lawmakers to help drive these bills through the legislature.
And when the bills encountered challenges, AFP put concerned citizens like you back into action.
The volunteers and staff you support knocked 127,000 doors across the state to hear directly from Texans about challenges they were facing in health care. These same activists and staffers went to speak with lawmakers in Austin.
One of their key findings? AFP learned that 75% of Texans they spoke with would like to see less government control over health care.
Zack, an AFP field staffer from Houston, shared stories about patients who fell behind on their medical bills and couldn’t access care because of too much government control in health care.
The grassroots push and supportive advertising reinforced AFP’s under-the-dome lobbying in Austin — and ultimately helped ensure Texans will enjoy a better environment for health care.
