I voted for the Senate Appropriations Committee’s $4.6 billion bipartisan bill that included @POTUS’s funding request to: -Expand shelters -Continue to care for unaccompanied children -Provide additional security along the border https://t.co/5ZBwLJDi9C — PolitiTweet.org

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act of 2019 will reduce what Americans pay out of their own pockets for health care in three major ways: 1. End surprise medical billing 2. Create more transparency 3. Increases prescription drug competition https://t.co/VgDN8wKdkX — PolitiTweet.org

This bill will lead to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and employers providing Americans a better experiences and better outcomes at lower costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

But we will never have lower cost health insurance until we have lower cost health care, which is why our #LowerHealthCareCosts Act of 2019 takes steps that will actually bring down the cost of health care that Americans pay out of their own pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

For the last decade, Congress has been locked in an argument about the individual market, where six percent of Americans get their health insurance. Especially for Americans without subsidies, the cost of health insurance remains way too expensive. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Since then, we’ve received over 400 additional comments on that draft legislation. Today’s hearing was scheduled to hear feedback on this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

In May, Sen @PattyMurray and I released for discussion the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act of 2019—a package of nearly three dozen proposals from 16 Republican senators and 14 Democrat senators – that is designed to reduce what Americans pay out of their own pockets for health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

We received over 400 recommendations, some as many as 50 pages long. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Last December, I sent a letter to experts at @AEI and the @BrookingsInst, and to doctors, economists, governors, insurers, employers, and other health care innovators, asking for specific steps Congress could take to lower the cost of health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Over the last two years, this Committee has held 16 hearings on a wide range of topics related to #LowerHealthCareCosts – specifically, how do we reduce what the American people pay out of their own pockets for health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Like every American family, both Democrat and Republican United States Senators are concerned about the cost of health care. Health care has become a tax on family budgets and on businesses, on federal and state governments. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Nearly a year ago, Dr. Brent James from @theNASEM testified before our Senate health committee with a startling statistic: up to half of what the American people spend on health care may be unnecessary. — PolitiTweet.org
