                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that individual 
            choice in health insurance should be protected.

Whereas more than 159 million Americans under the age of 65 are enrolled in 
        private health insurance through their employer;
Whereas more than 14 million Americans under the age of 65 are enrolled in 
        private health insurance that they purchase on their own behalf;
Whereas more than 22 million Americans receive Medicare benefits through a 
        Medicare Advantage plan offered by a private entity;
Whereas private health insurance coverage often provides benefits that are more 
        robust than benefits offered under a Federal or State health program and 
        at cost that is lower than under a Federal or State health program; and
Whereas H.R. 1384 from the 116th Congress and similar bills would make the 
        offering of private health insurance unlawful, snatching away the health 
        insurance millions of Americans have, like, and rely on in favor of 
        government rationing of care: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
it is the duty of the Federal Government to protect and promote 
individual choice in health insurance for the American people and 
prevent any ``Medicare for All'' proposal that would outlaw private 
health plans, such as job-based coverage and Medicare Advantage plans.
