Frank Pallone actually said...

"This bill prohibits balance billing of patients and limits a patient's bill to their in-network cost-sharing amount in emergency situations."

"We are going to stop this and it's why Chairman Pallone and I are moving forward with legislation to protect patients."

"It's long past time for Congress to take decisive action to protect patients from the unreasonable and unacceptable practice of surprise billing."

"This is common sense when a patient has little or no control over who gives them lifesaving care."
