Tuesday, March 6, 2018

Small Business Majority submitted a letter in support of California's Health Care Market Fairness Act of 2017 (SB 538), which would lower costs and improve value for California's entrepreneurs and the more than six million Californians who work for small businesses. It seeks to ensure lower costs by changing hospital contracting practices. The bill will address some of the most coercive practices like “gag clauses” and anti-tiering restrictions that have no relation to value and serve only to fuel unjustifiable increases in price.
