The Solution
The No Surprises Act has already made a major difference—preventing more than one million surprise bills each month from health care facilities, providers, and air ambulances. But this progress is at risk. Ongoing lawsuits and loopholes have opened the door for some providers and middlemen to exploit the system, driving up costs and undermining the law’s intent. To preserve the full benefits of the No Surprises Act, policymakers must keep patients at the center—maintaining strong protections, ensuring a fair and transparent process, and closing gaps that allow bad actors to abuse the system. By doing so, we can lower health care costs and uphold the law’s promise of affordability and security for patients and families.
