The Coalition Against Rate-Setting includes 14 nonprofit organizations representing taxpayers and consumers. Some of the representatives include the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, 60 Plus Association and Americans for Limited Government.
The groups launched a website, noratesetting.org, which outlines its position. The coalition said it is opposed to rate-setting proposals presented by lawmakers and said the policy would have unintended consequences, like physician office and hospital closures.
