Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly pointed out that benchmarking is not a partisan issue.

“Everyone hears from their constituents about the cost of healthcare. People want solutions,” Kelly said. “Healthcare affordability needs to be tackled with a multipronged approach that includes controlling the growth of expenses.”
