Senate health panel announces hearings on Obamacare markets
22 August 2017 - Insurance commissioners, governors to weigh in on ‘stabilisation’ fixes.
The Senate Health Committee will hold hearings on patching up Obamacare’s wobbly markets as soon as Congress returns in September from the summer recess, its Republican chairman and ranking Democrat announced Tuesday.
Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said they’ve invited state insurance commissioners and governors — “those closest to the problem” — to testify a few days after Labor Day, on 6 and 7 September.
