Nickel and diming people’s healthcare is dangerous. It gets in the way of real people receiving the care and medicine that they need to live their lives. As a Type 1 diabetic, I don't want a company’s profit motive standing in the way of care I need, care I still have to pay for. Our legislators should pass laws that guarantee people are able to get the care that they need, when they need it, without a for-profit entity standing between them and their care. Pass these bills.

Health insurance carriers further limiting in network services is ridiculous. I support this bill and doctors choosing the best services for their patients.

Allowing health insurance to deny referrals from in-network carriers is an overreach, and should be left in the hands of the actual medical professionals.

It’s bad enough that insurers restrict patients and providers to in-network labs and testing facilities to begin with. It is even worse when they put restrictions on their restrictions and force all testing to go through centralized national laboratories when local labs can process results more quickly. These processing delays can have harmful and even fatal consequences, and serve no purpose other than consolidating corporate profit. Please support this legislation and give doctors and patients the freedom to choose the in-network services that are best for them.
