WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) – U.S. House lawmakers have called on the chief executives of the some of the nation’s top health insurers to testify before Congress later this month to discuss coverage affordability.
The lawmakers invited the CEOs of UnitedHealth, CVS Health, Cigna, Elevance and Ascendiun to appear January 22, the U.S. House Energy Committee and the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee said in a statement.
The planned hearing comes as the Republican-led House weighs a Democratic proposal to extend Obamacare subsidies. Republican President Donald Trump has also said he plans to meet with health insurance companies soon.
