Advance the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act
Baird supports the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which passed the House, and says he is working for Senate and presidential support so it becomes law. He says the bill would lower health care costs and increase price transparency for patients, maintain Hyde Amendment protections, and reduce the deficit by more than $700 million while fully offsetting its cost.
Context: The bill had passed the House but had not become law at the time of the statement.
