SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS
At the heart of the fight for healthcare justice lies the insidious issue of surprise medical bills, a menace that, before the passage of the No Surprises Act (NSA), struck unpredictably, leaving families grappling with financial uncertainty despite their best efforts to shield themselves. This problem was not a mere accident but a systemic flaw that pits hardworking families against a relentless tug-of-war between health care providers and insurers, a battle waged over the exorbitant price of care.
Did you know that before the NSA, a staggering 1 in 5 emergency department visits resulted in a surprise medical bill? This alarming statistic reflected the pervasive nature of the problem, a dagger aimed at the heart of unsuspecting individuals seeking urgent medical attention. But the injustices didn't stop there – nearly 70% of air ambulance patient transports are out-of-network, turning a dire situation into a financial nightmare for those in desperate need of life-saving transportation.
Enter the NSA, a beacon of hope that has shielded millions of consumers from the dreaded specter of unexpected out-of-network medical bills for over two years. Yet, our fight is far from over. Greedy corporate provider groups are relentlessly scheming to weaken and undermine the NSA, putting profits over people and threatening the hard-fought victories we've achieved.
