The kickoff event featured two expert panels and a keynote from House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19), spotlighting ideas to lower costs, improve care, and put patients, not bureaucrats, at the center of the system.\n\nThe panelists engaged in constructive discussions on the reforms to the American healthcare system, including potential changes to the Affordable Care Act, stronger safeguards to reduce fraud, and strategies to bring healthcare costs under control.\n\nThese conversations demonstrated that with open and honest dialogue, meaningful healthcare reform is within reach.\n\nAbout the event, Congressman Bean said: \u201cHealthcare costs are exploding, and endless spending won\u2019t solve it. We must confront the root causes. Real solutions depend on open, honest dialogue about lowering costs while expanding choice and competition. That\u2019s the purpose of this series \u2014 to bring people together, find common ground, and move toward meaningful reform.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nThe Path to Consensus Series will continue in 2026 with additional sessions, each focusing on a different aspect of America\u2019s healthcare system. Congressman Bean underscored that the series is designed to be an ongoing dialogue, not a one-time event.\n\nTo watch the livestream, click HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bean.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-congressman-bean-hosts-health-summit-dc-healthcare-affordability"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4486629515886307, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
