This is a meaningful step forward toward giving patients faster answers, more certainty, and fewer unnecessary delays in care. I applaud these efforts from a collection of the largest health plans across most market segments as momentum builds. We look forward to continuing to work with health plans and providers on improving care for patients through this effort. reuters.com/legal/litigati…

President George W. Bush throws a ceremonial first pitch from the mound for a strike before Game 3 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium! #MLB #Baseball #Yankees #History #September11 #NeverForget
