Demand price transparency and competition in our healthcare system.
Friend,
Health care is one of the largest sectors of our economy but it is the least transparent. Americans should be able to shop for healthcare services like anything else on the market: by seeing prices upfront, being able to compare rates, and finding the best value.Â
And that should be possible since it’s the law… but hospitals and insurance companies are ignoring it.Â
Sign the Patient Protection Commitment to add your name to a growing list of over 65,000+ Americans who want healthcare price transparency and demand that Congress enforces the law.
Healthcare costs are secretly and grossly up charging patients. Our c3 sister organization Independent Women's Forum has been breaking stories on Americans who’ve been affected by the lack of healthcare price transparency. Check out this story about a mother who received a $47,000 medical bill for her C-section birth, despite having insurance. Included in that cost was a line item of $4,000 for the IV-Tylenol she was given during her hospital stay.Â
Enough is enough. We can all agree that healthcare prices are out of control and the only thing that will get them in check is full transparency. Take 30 seconds to demand healthcare price transparency by signing the Patient Protection Commitment.
Surprises should bring us happiness, not helplessness. You deserve to know healthcare prices upfront.
