Big health care corps are driving up the price of care, leaving patients, families, small businesses & taxpayers to bear the burden. Our coalition is dedicated to taking a stand against these massive hospital chains that have turned health care into big business. #SameServiceSamePrice

When you go to the doctor, the standard should be #SameServiceSamePrice. No one should pay an additional fee just because corporate interests decided that furniture and a few lamps count as expenses. See more from @FamiliesUSA's @FrederickIsasi, quoted by @misswilson @POLITICOpro

"The cost of a sick visit also is a disincentive to visit the doctor, potentially putting patients’ health at risk. We always see people avoid care when they don’t think that they can pay for the costs.” said @cparcham of @FamiliesUSA: “ Via @_BenLeonard_ politico.com/news/2023/08/18…

1 in 5 adults are facing symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders, yet mental health services are often overlooked in insurance coverage. Today’s @POTUS proposed rule would increase the utilization of mental health & substance use care. Get the facts: tinyurl.com/4f8wpwtn

Families’ health & financial well-being shouldn’t hang in the balance due to hidden fees and abusive industry practices. While we appreciate the Ways and Means price transparency efforts, the legislation falls short of what Americans deserve. Our comment: tinyurl.com/3x9c96s3
