“Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate House passage of H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act. During my time in Congress, I have advocated for restoring patient- centered, cost-effective, and market-driven solutions to our Nation's healthcare system to drive down costs. For too long, families have faced the financial burden of unexpected medical bills, overly expensive prescription drugs, limited healthcare choices, and hidden fees. In nearly every industry, consumers know the price of a product before purchasing it. Healthcare should be no different. That is why I am so proud of the work done on the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act. This monumental bill delivers much-needed transparency and ensures Americans have access to timely, quality, and affordable healthcare that suits them best. Specifically, this bill requires hospitals to disclose their actual prices and forces insurance companies to show patients what they will pay before receiving care. Madam Speaker, I am proud to serve on both committees that helped craft this historic overhaul of our healthcare system. ____________________”
