"From the very beginning, health care negotiations between the Trump administration and Congress have taken place in secret, and with talks reportedly starting again, Congress has made it clear that its first priority is to keep the public in the dark.”

The third and final set of health care documents that a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release to American Oversight again showed a concerted effort to hide the details of negotiations through the use of excessive redactions.

New documents released today show the Trump administration taking extraordinary steps to hide the details of its health care reform negotiations with top congressional leaders including House Speaker Paul Ryan.

American Oversight sued HHS and OBM for failure to comply with FOIA (HHS-17-0024; OMB-17-0025). This is the status report and request for a hearing.

Heavily redacted correspondence between the Department of Health and Human Services and Congress regarding health care reform, obtained through a FOIA lawsuit by American Oversight. This is the second of three sets of documents HHS was ordered to produce.
