Fierce Healthcare May 18, 2023
A key House panel advanced a slew of healthcare bills during a busy Wednesday on the Hill for health policy.
The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health approved seven bills Wednesday, consolidated down from 14 measures through amendments. Key provisions approved include price transparency regulations, site-neutral payment policies, changes for pharmacy benefit managers and updates to the 340B drug discount program.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers, R-Washington, the committee’s chair, said in a statement that the group would “continue to plow the hard ground” on the biggest issues facing the country, including healthcare.
“I’m proud this committee is building on its rich, bipartisan history to come together on important priorities for the American people,” she said.
