McCaskill continues to Speak Out on Overblown Health Insurance Rates

(Washington) At a Senate Finance Committee hearing this week, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri spoke out on healthcare costs. 

McCaskill called out efforts by the Trump Administration, Republican congressional leadership, and Attorney Generals to undermine protections on preexisting conditions and raise health insurance costs for millions of Missourians.

McCaskill has called for a full review of the actions by health insurer Anthem to deny emergency room coverage for Missourians? care that is deemed non-emergent, a potential violation of consumers? rights and federal law. 

She also began demanding answers from Anthem last year after the insurance company announced it would no longer cover emergency room costs for Missourians if that care is deemed non-emergent.
