Trump pledges to stop surprise medical bills

President Trump and his health chief pledged Wednesday to tackle the issue of eye-popping surprise medical bills, raising the prospect of bipartisan action on a major healthcare problem.

“We are here today to discuss how the healthcare system too often harms people with unfair surprises… in a very negative sense, medical bills and the like,” Trump said at a meeting at the White House with patients who had faced such circumstances. “The pricing is hurting patients and we have stopped a lot of it, and we are going to stop all of it, and it’s very important to me.”
