Republicans push for socialist price controls in coronavirus bill

At home, most of us are trying to figure out just how to survive a pandemic, but Congress is seemingly working on ways to make it even harder. Amid their debates on which pork projects to fund, and how much actual aid they need to distribute in relationship to the gifts they hand their friends to avoid riots, Congress is also considering handing over the healthcare industry to insurance companies.

Surprise billing is back in the mix, and if the fixes are anything like we have seen from the key congressional committees in the past, they are top-down solutions that give the insurance industry the ability to decide if patients will have access to doctors or not.
