I'm writing to encourage you to consider the unexpected ill effects of the No Surprises Act on the cost of healthcare in Massachusetts and nationwide. As we enter the next Congress, healthcare costs will be an important issue. Original projections estimated 17,000 cost disputes through the Act, but in 2025, providers filed 2.6 million disputes. That's a burden on government arbitration systems and a signal of abuse by the private insurers. Until broader reforms are available, consider changes to this Act to protect the insured from abuse by insurers. Thank you for your time!
