That's pretty sad, Madam Chair.

If there is anything upon which we should all agree it is that the patient should be held harmless.

I strongly believe that any viable solution in this space cannot result in rising healthcare costs.

To expect them to then just say, no, let me check right now to see if you're in network or out of network is not based in reality or in the real world.

It's unconscionable that families are going through what they're going through, and that's the number 1, 2, and 3 reasons why I set out to find this solution.

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

FERC's decisions and rulemakings have a large impact on our Nation's energy and environmental future.

Protecting patients, however, must be put at the forefront of this discussion and I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do just that.

I am also pleased the president has taken on this issue.

We must protect patients from these bills and we want to get it right.

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

To date, FERC's efforts to account for greenhouse gas emissions in the pipeline review process leaves much to be desired, in my opinion.
