AHA submits comments to House Republican task force on affordability
The AHA today responded to a request for information on design considerations for legislation to make health care more affordable, released last month by a House Republican task force led by Reps. Kevin Hern, R-Okla.; Rick Allen, R-Ga.; and Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.
“Our shared focus with Congress is on providing relief from the pandemic, ensuring a smooth recovery and rebuilding a better health care system for the future, all while continuing to support efforts to promote greater affordability and value to patients and the health care system,” AHA wrote.
