Carbery Campbell was slammed with a surprise $6,500 medical bill after going to the hospital for a “free” COVID test.                                 

Hi Friend, Carbery Campbell was slammed with a surprise $6,500 medical bill after going to the hospital for a “free” COVID test.  "It was a slap in the face,” she said, after receiving bill after bill in the mail for something she expected to be covered by insurance. And she’s not alone. Almost 60% of Americans report having received a surprise medical bill. That will only get worse as this pandemic rages on. COVID is scary and stressful enough. The LAST thing you should have to worry about is receiving surprise medical bills that you can neither anticipate nor plan for.  That’s why price transparency in health care is so critical, especially in the midst of a pandemic and subsequent recession that are full of uncertainty and unpredictability. Congress has had multiple opportunities to act on price transparency legislation, but they’ve chosen to put their political interests ahead of your financial and physical health.  That’s why your Members of Congress and candidates need to hear from you. Contact them and tell them to act now on price transparency. One in six Americans has a past-due medical bill on their credit report. And Americans borrow a whopping $88 billion per year to pay for medical expenses.  These are pre-COVID numbers that likely are only going to get worse. That’s why it’s so urgent that you act now. Hold your elected officials and candidates accountable for making price transparency in health care a reality. Contact them today.  Thanks, Hadley Heath Manning UPDATE PREFERENCES | UNSUBSCRIBE
