    New Jersey doctors, hospitals still fighting plan to curb out-of-network charges | NJSpotlight.com

    Reducing out-of-network medical charges would save hundreds of millions of dollars each year for residents, businesses, and taxpayers in New Jersey while slowing the growth of healthcare costs overall, according to those who support a plan to limit the practice.
