Today, Republican Leader of the Education and Labor Committee Virginia Foxx (R-NC) gave the following statement after the Biden administration announced updated rules on surprise out-of-network medical billing:

“Congress came together last year to pass historic, bipartisan legislation banning surprise medical billing, a huge step towards alleviating financial and emotional hardships for sick and suffering Americans. We did so without creating a new, expensive program or stepping outside the role of the federal government.

“I am cautiously optimistic that the Biden administration intends to carry on Trump’s legacy on this issue. We must work together to protect taxpayers from predatory practices while supporting and strengthening the private health care sector. Socialist medicine, favored by some prominent Democrats, has no place in this country.”
