I am committed to lowering costs and offering more choices to make our nation’s health care system work better. ... I will continue to advocate for patient-centered solutions that increase access, lower costs, and protect the vulnerable in our society.
Continue advocating patient-centered health care policies that lower costs, increase choices, and protect vulnerable patients.
Occurrences
I’m proud to put forward this bipartisan solution with Representative Scott to increase transparency and provide a positive course correction that puts patients first.
Evidence
Rep. Virginia Foxx said patients need clear cost information to make informed health care decisions and announced the bipartisan Transparency in Billing Act, describing it as a solution that puts patients first and increases transparency in hospital billing.
Assessments
Foxx made a concrete same-term advocacy and legislative effort by introducing the bipartisan Transparency in Billing Act, which aligns with the promise to pursue patient-centered policies aimed at lowering costs and increasing transparency. However, the evidence only shows introduction/advocacy, not enactment or a delivered policy outcome that lowered costs, expanded choices, or protected vulnerable patients. Because the promised outcome is broad and ongoing, this supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
