Randi Becker

Randi L. Becker (born July 12, 1948) is an American politician of the Republican Party.

[2] In March 2020, Becker announced that she would not seek reelection to an additional term in the state Senate.

[6] In March 2014, Becker was criticized for removing a provision of House Bill 2572 that would create an "all payer claims database," a transparency tool that would allow people to compare what health care actually costs and how well it turns out.

[7] An all payer claims database already exists or is being implemented in 16 other states[8] and is supported in Washington by a broad coalition representing most health insurance purchasers, users, providers and health care policymakers, including small and large businesses, consumer advocates, tribes, hospitals, doctors, nurses, the governor, the insurance commissioner,[9] the agency that governs insurance for state employees and the poor, and even most other health insurance companies.

[10] After the provision was removed, a Premera Blue Cross lobbyist publicly thanked Becker.
