While other issues and controversies have overshadowed health care policy news in recent months, there has been some activity in this area, as federal lawmakers are considering moves to address price transparency and health care costs.

A recent hearing at the U.S. House of Representative Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee on Jan. 31 heard testimony from a range of shareholders and policy experts on costs and price transparency in health care. Many of the speakers voiced support for the recent "Lower Costs, More Transparency Act," which passed the House in late 2023 and is pending in the Senate.
