Were getting this going after votes. The house subcommittee will come to order. Brief Opening Statements and then two panels. Welcome all of you for coming. This is the Third Session of congress in which i have introduced legislation to ban the practice of surprise billing. Todays bipartisan hearing represents an initial effort by this committee to finally offer some relief to patients whove been bearing the brunt of a dispute between their insurers and some of their Health Care Providers.

This is where a couple of low Railroad Trestles blocked some debris that was coming downstream, which was not unusual, the piers from the bridge, they got soaked in oil, which was also not unusual, and then there was a spark perhaps from a passing train.
