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. For patients, you can take all the right steps in attempting to see that your care network is covered but you may still face big bills. One in seven americans have received a surprise bill as part of receiving care at a hospital that is actually within their Insurance Network. The problem in san antonio, one of the communities that i represent, has been so extensive that jay avola has initiated an entire Television Series called show me your bill.

And im glad that i was put in the middle of this because for everything that something good comes of it and that is why im here today.
