[URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/01/upshot/surprise-medical-bills-biden.html"]For Surprise Medical Bills, It’s the Beginning of the End[/URL] A Texas man, for example, received a [URL='https://www.vox.com/2018/5/23/17353284/emergency-room-doctor-out-of-network']$7,924 bill[/URL] from an out-of-network oral surgeon who performed an emergency operation at an in-network hospital. Even so, it took years to pass legislation, as well-funded interests lobbied intensely against the reforms — including [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/13/upshot/surprise-billing-laws-ad-spending-doctor-patient-unity.html']millions of dollars [/URL]spent on television advertising.
