🧵 As we approach the legislative session, I'm doing a series of posts highlighting my priority bills, explaining the what, why, and how behind them. My next bill addresses a problem many in the community have faced: surprise medical bills for ground ambulance transfers. (1/9)

~3M privately insured Americans are taken to ERs by ambulance per year. Of those trips >1/2 are deemed “out of network” by insurance companies. https://t.co/2XZoCI2wQ8 My bill #HB286, The Consumer Protections for Emergency Transportation Act, would prevent such surprise bills.

A new report shows ~ 6 out of 10 ambulance claims are considered “out of network,” meaning not covered by insurance. I wrote #HB286 because the last thing patients having a medical emergency need is worry about whether they can afford to call 911. https://t.co/Gb9aiS7SDh

I could explain to you why it’s so important that we pass my bill #HB286, The Consumer Protections for Emergency Transportation Act. Or I could just let @DGlaucomflecken explain it here: https://t.co/JfmwYHZdGR Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Junk health insurance policies and surprise medical bills expose patients to catastrophic medical expenses. My bill #HB286, the Surprise Billing Consumer Protection Act, requires coverage of emergency ground ambulance transports at in-network rates. https://t.co/9Osth7JxU8

#HB286 requires insurers to create a special enrollment period for pregnancy, ensuring all pregnant people have access to coverage. It passed out of committee this AM with a 16-1 vote & heads to the House Floor next. #KYGA23 Thanks to @SarahForKY for sponsoring this bill!

Happy to talk to @ATLNewsFirst about my bill #HB286, the Surprise Billing Consumer Protection Act, and noncoverage of emergency ground ambulances. (The essential tension in the U.S. healthcare system, of course, is that for-profit insurance companies make more by covering less.)

#HB286 is law tomorrow, barring police budgets from redirecting $ to mental health treatment & education to address causal factors of crime. Coupled w/ GA's failure to expand Medicaid, thousands of incarceration-exiting Georgians won't get recidivism-preventing healthcare. #gapol
