WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) – U.S. House lawmakers have called on the chief executives of the some of the nation’s top health insurers to testify before Congress later this month to discuss coverage affordability.

The planned hearing comes as the Republican-led House weighs a Democratic proposal to extend Obamacare subsidies. Republican President Donald Trump has also said he plans to meet with health insurance companies soon.
