There are also discussions around expanding subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, capping out-of-pocket expenses, and potentially regulating pharmaceutical pricing to make medications more affordable. Additionally, some lawmakers are pushing for reforms in insurance practices, such as banning practices like surprise billing, where patients receive unexpectedly high bills from out-of-network providers. The article also touches on bipartisan interest in these issues, although the approaches differ, with some advocating for market-based solutions while others push for more government intervention.
