ENERGY AND COMMERCE, WAYS AND MEANS, AND EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE COMMITTEES INTRODUCE BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION TO LOWER COSTS AND INCREASE TRANSPARENCY FOR PATIENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care Energy
"The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act is designed with the singular purpose of empowering patients with the information they need to receive the most affordable and accessible health care possible. Hidden fees, dishonest billing, and other harmful practices in the health care industry have left patients in the dark about the cost of care. No patient should be saddled with higher premiums just because he or she wasn't presented with all of the facts. This good faith effort will allow patients to cut through the confusion in the health care marketplace and make informed decisions."
