Pres. Donald Trump outlines a plan to tackle 'surprise medical bills'
President Donald Trump announced that his administration plans to treat the extra pain some patients experience when they’re faced with so-called “surprise medical bills” and the unexpected high cost that comes with treatment by out-of-network physicians.
“No one in America should be bankrupted unexpectedly by health care costs that are absolutely out of control. No family should be blindsided by outrageous medical bills,” Trump said. For elective surgery, the administration wants to address situations where patients get a surprise charge for a procedure that they understand to be in-network when an out-of-network physician – such as an anesthesiologist – is brought into a procedure.
“I feel like I was exploited at the most vulnerable point in my life, so I hope Congress hears this call to take action, close the loopholes and work towards that transparency,” Calver said when invited to make remarks by the president.
