President Donald Trump will ask Congress Thursday to pass legislation to protect Americans from “surprise” medical billing.
The president will speak on the issue at 11:45 a.m. EDT, at the White House.
Trump is expected to address the main points he wants to see in legislation to increase transparency in medical billing. Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, who’ve led efforts for legislation, will attend.
A study by the American Cancer Society this month said 6 in 10 Americans have suffered financial hardship due to healthcare costs. The study examined issues regarding payments, anxiety over bills and going without care to avoid hardship. Fifty-six percent of American adults reported at least one of those types of hardship, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Now let’s move on to stopping fraudulent Medicare/Medicaid billing, especially over-diagnosing/testing to pump up receipts. I noticed my doc has a program that helps him adjust the questioning/testing on wellness visits to make the billing codes pay more.
