The big insurance companies realize their PBMs are facing hard core legislative changes. Which are great. However.

@AlphaRRCapital1@AtlasMD@SpeakerJohnson@LeaderJohnThune I’m not 100 years old, yet I remember when all health insurance was delivered as indemnity. I paid the doc, the doc gave me the claim, I submitted the claim.

Insurance price for newborn hip ultrasound $800.
Good faith estimate $400
Cash price $159
