Surprise medical bills — those unexpected and often pricey bills patients face when they get care from a doctor or hospital that isn't in their insurance network — are the health care problem du jour in Washington, with President Trump and congressional lawmakers from both sides of the aisle calling for action.
These policymakers agree on the need to take patients out of the middle of the fight over charges, but crafting a legislative solution will not be easy.
A hearing of the House Ways and Means health subcommittee Tuesday, for example, quickly devolved into finger-pointing as providers' and insurers' testimony showed how much they don't see eye to eye.

Congress gets free health care. Do you think they actually care about the citizenry?

Nope! My question is, when did we do away with policies that covered hospitalization and ER visits, not visits to the doctor? I know it wasn't until after I was out of college and working as a nurse. I sti had to pay a fee for Dr visit, like $25. I can't remember if lab work and Xrsys were covered, I know meds were not.
