John,

In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should have to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. But, too often, families are forced to make those impossible choices.

Even when patients do their homework to make sure they choose a hospital or provider that’s in their insurance network, they could still unknowingly be stuck with astronomical out-of-network fees.

That’s why I’ve worked across the aisle to come up with a bipartisan plan to take these burdens off of patients and end surprise medical bills.

Sign on to support my plan to end unexpected medical bills.

We’ve heard the stories: One man was billed over $100,000 after receiving care for a heart attack, and one woman was charged more than $17,000 after her urine test was sent to an out-of-network lab.

They’re not alone. According to research:

• 4 out of 10 Americans said they have received a surprise medical bill in the past year.
• Out of the 99% of emergency department visits that happened at in-network facilities, 22% involved out-of-network doctors.
• 67% said they were worried about surprise medical bills, while only 41% said they were worried about affording rent.

Americans shouldn’t have to put off getting the health care they need because they’re worried about what the bill might be.

My plan would take patients out of the process for negotiating prices for unexpected medical care and leave it up to the insurer and the provider because patients should be able to focus on getting healthy.

Add your name to show your support for my plan and help spread the word.

All the best,
