Hi Friend,
When you shop on Amazon, you can see the prices of goods, including discounts, and you can shop around for other options that fit your particular needs or budget.
The same thing happens when you go to the grocery store or search for a hotel. So why isn’t this the case when you have a healthcare appointment, test, or procedure?
Knowing the price of health care is critical for a healthy, competitive market. And a healthy, competitive market is essential for our health--and the health of our finances and the economy.
Transparency creates competition. > Competition lowers prices and increases choices. > Choices give you more control. > Control gives you more flexibility. > Flexibility gives you more freedom.
The proposed rule is an important step toward a truly patient-driven, fully functional healthcare marketplace. But there are only a few more days to act until the comment period closes.
