Dear John,

Join Health Affairs March 19 for a virtual event examining the potential policy and administrative changes surrounding the Medicaid program and what they may mean in terms of coverage, operations, and financing.

This week, President Trump utilized an executive order to direct three federal agencies to enforce health care price transparency regulations that were initially rolled out during his first term.

For this Flashback Friday, let's take a moment to see what research has been shared from Health Affairs on the topic of hospital price transparency regulations.
