No, it's not national health care, but the House Republicans' Healthy Future Task Force has some ideas. And, at least some of them are good.
Pushing hospitals to actually adhere to the Trump-era law about public advance price disclosure? Indeed.
While it looks like an attack on Obamacare, if there is some unnecessary paperwork, then yes, get rid of it.
Targeting higher costs at hospital-owned doctors' offices? All for that.
On the Senate side, the two duopoly parties are working together to target other issues on high hospital costs.
It's issues like this where, should we get national health care, I would insist, INSIST, contra the likes of Physicians for a National Health Program, that we target yet more fee-for-service issues. That includes Green Party candidates MDs Jill Stein and Margaret Flowers backing PNHP. (That said, remember that this is PHYSICIANS for a National Health Program, NOT "Medical Professionals for a ..." They oppose, in parallel with being fee-for-service diehards, a national health insurance program that would look at the best of state ideas on letting physicians assistants or nurse practitioners perform more services.)
With no "GOP wave," it will be interesting to see if this helps the efforts up
