Bipartisan legislation tackling health care reform has advanced from the state House to the Senate. House Speaker Jason Wentworth says the legislation focuses on the consumer, instead of the insurance carriers, providers or other stakeholders.
“This is a step in the right direction,” says Speaker Wentworth. “It’s not by any means going to fix every issue, but we are working towards continuing this path of increasing access and quality of healthcare in our state.”
Legislation would make it easier to understand medication prices, cap insulin costs and rein in drug companies influence on doctors.
