The broad bipartisan support that H.R. 5378 received was a resounding message of commitment to rural healthcare systems across the country, especially in Michigan’s First District, which has more than 70 Community Health Centers. The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act will do the following: · Extend mandatory spending for Community Health Centers, which are crucial for patients in rural and underserved areas; · Prevent cuts to hospitals that take care of uninsured and low-income patients; · Lower out-of-pocket costs for seniors who receive medication at a hospital-owned outpatient facility or doctor’s office; · Expand access to more affordable generic drugs; | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
