"No one should ever face a surprise medical bill that can lead to
financial ruin. While we continue to analyze the bill in all its
complexities, we continue to believe strongly that any real solution
must be clear and straightforward for consumers, and must protect
patients by relying on fair, market-based prices based on locally
negotiated rates – without loopholes. That’s how to ensure their
healthcare costs remain more affordable." - Matt Eyles, CEO and President, America’s Health Insurance Plans |
