The bill passed through the Senate HELP Committee last week with strong bipartisan support. This legislation would help to reduce out of pocket health care costs and improve access to affordable medical care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFar too many Nevadans are unable to get proper medical care because of the high cost,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cThis bill will protect Nevadans against surprise medical bills, increase transparency in the health care system, allow greater access to cheaper generic drugs, and much more. I\u2019m also thrilled that my provision to improve telehealth grants so they work better for Nevada was included in this legislation. I\u2019ll continue working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure that Nevadans, and Americans across the country, have greater access to more affordable care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>BACKGROUND:<\/strong><\/u> This legislation would put an end to surprise medical billing. This legislation would also extend funding for community health centers, teaching health centers, national health care service corps, and the Special Diabetes Program for five years.
