Congress Should Lower Health Costs and Enact Site Neutral Payment Reforms.

Statement From Mark E. Miller, Executive Vice President Health Care at Arnold Ventures.

WASHINGTON D.C. (Feb. 27, 2024): ​“President Trump’s Executive Order shines a light on the problem of high hospital prices. But more needs to be done and the Congress should follow his example and enact site neutral payment reforms. 

We know that 84% of voters support site-neutral policies that would prevent hospitals from charging more than a doctor’s office for routine services. Congress can act now to lower costs for patients and taxpayers.”
