Bill H.R.8324 titled “Health Share Transparency Act of 2022” was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce by the House of Representatives. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Jared Huffman with Ann Kuster, Jamie Raskin as cosponsors.
The Energy and Commerce Committee moves forward in some way on three bills per day, taking two actions on average per day.
Most bills have a hearing where those involved explain why they are for or against the bill. Roughly 8,000 bills are addressed by committees each year but only about 800 make it to the floor of Congress, according to ushistory.org.
A 2019 report from the Brookings Institute argued committees aren’t capable of delving fully into the issues they address and are forced to rely on lobbyists.
