Healthy Competition for Better Care Act
Summary
The Healthy Competition for Better Care Act (H.R. 3120) aims to lower healthcare costs by banning certain "anticompetitive" terms in contracts between health insurance companies and healthcare providers. Specifically, the bill would prohibit "all-or-nothing" clauses that force insurers to include every facility in a hospital system in their network, as well as "anti-steering" clauses that prevent insurers from encouraging patients to use higher-quality or lower-cost doctors. By removing these contractual restrictions, the bill is intended to give patients more choices and allow insurance plans to offer incentives for choosing more affordable, high-value care.
