Plain-English Summary

This bill would require health insurance companies to publicly disclose how much money they spend on overhead costs and administrative expenses, as well as details about how much they pay out for medical claims, so patients and regulators can see where insurance premiums actually go. It would also direct the federal government to create clear guidelines for what insurance information companies must provide to customers. The changes would apply to private health insurance plans and Medicare, making the insurance industry more transparent about its spending.
