"I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get the Health Care Price Transparency Act 2.0 to the President's desk."
"That is the ultimately behavior of a monopoly, and remember, they are the supplier, and this is going against their own customers, and that, to me, is indicative of why we are in the pickle we are in."
"I do not know of one other industry where we have had to bring, at the federal government level, a transparency bill."
"All insurance companies basically do this."
"small employers will really benefit from access to tools and technology that can leverage that standardized formatting"
"the Braun-Sanders bill is so important is because it makes this data available in a standardized format"
"I believe that most of the carriers today do not have an incentive."
"That was a key element that actually brought it into line, because my employees became health care consumers and they exercised their power in doing it."
"That average jack in price is about 40 percent?"
"That is another ripoff that happens nowhere else."
"I would like your opinion, Dr. Whaley and Ms. Deacon, on how do we get what drives most markets would be unfettered competition, no barriers to entry, price transparency, but an engaged consumer?"
