Analysis | The Health 202: Senators say they're serious about tackling surprise medical bills

. “The teenager said he lived for years without being vaccinated because of his mother’s belief in vaccine conspiracies. So Lindenberger began to do his own homework, consulting scientific research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”to the Associated Press.

“Since this outbreak began, 168 CDC employees have been deployed to DRC, neighboring countries or to WHO headquarters, Grusich said,” Helen writes. “And other U.S.-based personnel have been working with the Congolese health ministry, providing guidance on matters such as case investigation, contact tracing, and community engagement.”

“City officials said Friday that the mayor’s plans for reducing overdose deaths are on track,” Peter writes. “Within two weeks, the Bowser administration will be issuing a revised, more detailed plan that lays out specific goals and timelines, said Department of Health Director LaQuandra Nesbitt.” “To help expedite approval in the short term of desperately needed lower-cost biosimilar or ‘generic’ insulin products, we urge FDA to quickly amend its recent guidance documents that pose unreasonable approval delays for insulin products that could help patients with diabetes,” Sens.

This doesn't just happen with ER visits. It also happens w/ routine surgery. You can't know who is involved in your care & get weird bills from WTF is that?! An incompetent dr did surgery on my foot & I'm afraid to have corrective surgery, tho I have insurance, b/c of this issue.

Seeking a 'balance', so radical profiteering has to do be done by the book.

last year I spent 3 weeks in and out of Canadian Hospitals with a Bill of at least $5K and no way could I have ever afforded this if I lived there. 'MEDICARE' is the only way to go people!!!

The idea that a medical 'consumer' aka patient can monitor medical bills is ludicrous. Someone needs to pass out a detailed hospital stay bill to senators. Ask them to evaluate and explain.

Like the not so blind stock portfolios on the hill...🤔

How about tackling huge medical bills also

Happened to me; my in-network hospital hired an out-of-network (AND out-of-state!!!) doctor to “electronically monitor my vital signs” during emergency surgery ... and then came the bill and everyone said “there’s nothing we can do” ...

surprise! 🎉

But only the AMA in Australia is doing anything about it. Better light a fire under your AMA.

Believe it when I see it

JustDoIt already!

Analysis | The Health 202: There are silent skeptics of Jayapal's Medicare-for-all measureOnly 7 of 42 House Democrats who flipped GOP-held districts in 2018 are co-sponsoring the measure. It's crazy to me that Republican Senators are now saying that we can't believe Cohen because he lied when THEY called him as THEIR witness. So this means they're publicly admitting that THEIR witnesses lied FOR THEM at THEIR HEARINGS when they were testifying in favor of Trump. Are the silent skeptics silent bcoz of identity politics? I’m against Medicare for all because it mandates that 180 million people who get health care through their employer to lose their coverage against their free choice. This is unamerican & antitheticAl to the first amendment.
