Congress remains in session this week on Capitol Hill. Here’s a link to the Week in Congress’s report on last week’s actions on the Hill.

The Health Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee will hold hearing concerning surprise medical bills on Tuesday afternoon. Fierce Healthcare looks at the differences between the two bipartisan surprise medical bills pending the Senate and the House.

The House Budget Committee will hold a hearing concerning the Congressional Budget Office’s recent report on key design considerations and components of establishing a single payer system on Wednesday morning. In this regard, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D Conn.) re-introduced a Medicare for America bill (HR 2452). This bill would add a super-charged public option to the Affordable Care Act exchanges. In the FEHBlog’s view, and as explained in this Wall Street Journal op-ed, this bill is a Trojan horse for the single payer system.
