No Hotter Health Care Issue Than Drug Pricing, Lobbyist Says
Legislation on prescription drugs could move quicker than other issues, a consultant told NAHU members Monday.

The public option “would destabilize current insurance markets by creating an unlevel playing field,” said Chris Hartmann, NAHU vice president of congressional affairs. “This would have the devastating effect of closing hospitals.”
