Senate's Lower Health Care Cost Act Repeats Worst Features of Obamacare

Dubbed the "Lower Health Care Cost Act," the bill claims to protect recipients of unexpected medical bills that their healthcare plans will not cover.

In reality, it imposes price controls on insurers similar to Obamacare.

No one wants a repeat of that, but that is what the Lower Health Care Cost Act will give us.

The LHCC uses price controls to force health insurers to cover out-of-network emergency service.

In general, patients prefer a provider they know when it comes to dealing with sensitive health care issues.

The LHCC gives the U.S. Department Health and Human Services the authority to set up a dispute resolution process when insurers and providers disagree over whether a service should be covered.

Expect Health and Human Services to generate labyrinthian regulations governing the dispute resolution process, regulations that will be very easy for insurers and their attorneys to exploit.
