On June 17, 2025 Georgetown Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) hosted a policy briefing on state-led efforts to reform facility fee billing and improve health care affordability. Moderated by Dan Weissmann, reporter and host of An Arm and a Leg Podcast, and featuring a panel discussion with policymakers and health insurance experts, the event spotlighted how three states – Maine, New York, and Texas – are tackling excessive hospital outpatient charges to protect consumers from exposure to out-of-pocket costs and reduce premiums.
