Dr. Nonas said that unexpected costs could prevent families from seeking out medical care when they need it. The op-ed comes as the Colorado legislature looks to end some facility fees; Dr. Nona urged policymakers to support these measures.

“By limiting the facility fee loophole, we will limit unreasonable and excessive medical bills that prevent Coloradans from seeking care,” Dr. Nonas said. “We cannot allow powerful hospital systems to continue to grow their profits at the expense of Colorado patients.”
