Last week, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (E&C) held a markup of 44 legislative proposals related to the nation’s energy, health care, consumer protections and national security needs. Chairwoman Rogers (R-WA) highlighted the high cost Americans still continue to pay for health care despite lagging performance in life expectancy and patient outcomes when compared to peer nations.
