Consumers First Statement For The Record For Senate HELP Committee Hearing on Affordability
08.05.2025
Families USA, on behalf of the Consumers First alliance, submitted this statement for the record for the July 31 Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing, “Making Health Care Affordable: Solutions to Lower Costs and Empower Patients.”
In the Consumers First statement, we call on the Committee to address the root causes of unaffordable health care and to advance well-vetted, bipartisan and commonsense legislation that would remedy some of the most obvious health system failings by promoting meaningful transparency and accountability, reducing waste and inefficiencies driven by corporate health systems and rooting out conflicts of interest that increase health care costs.
The statement is signed by American Academy of Family Physicians; American Benefits Council; American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees; and Families USA.
