At a House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health hearing held March 15, 2013, Congressman Gus M. Bilirakis (R-FL) questioned the panel regarding the increase in healthcare premiums as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This hearing comes after a joint report released by the House Energy and Commerce, Senate Finance, and Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committees, which outlines estimated premium increases for states as a result of the rigid mandates and price controls imposed by ACA.
