All @HouseCommerce witnesses agree that patients deserve more from hospitals, especially improvements that work to tackle the skyrocketing costs of healthcare through increased transparency in pricing.

Legislation addressing the need for transparency are an important steps to root out waste, fraud and abuse from hospitals seeking to exploit the system.

If today's Energy & Commerce hearing is serious about healthcare transparency, it needs to focus on the #1 culprit behind high healthcare costs: hospitals. Patients can't shop for care when prices remain hidden. Real transparency means holding hospitals accountable for complying with the law.

For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings. That ends now. Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.

When hospitals fail, patients pay the price. Following the bankruptcies of Steward and Prospect, states are moving to rein in private equity's role in health care with tougher oversight and accountability measures. The debate over profits vs. patient care is only intensifying. #HealthPolicy #HealthCare pluribusnews.com/news-and-ev…

🚨 A nonprofit hospital in Norfolk paid a gastroenterologist nearly $5M and a surgeon $3.8M in 2024, making them Nebraska's two highest-paid nonprofit employees. The payments are fueling debate over whether healthcare incentive structures put volume ahead of value. norfolkneradio.com/news/norf…

A coalition of consumer advocacy groups sent letters to @nyphospital and @ECUHealth asking necessary questions about rising hospital costs, price transparency, and patient affordability. Weeks later, there has been no response. Transparency isn't just a talking point—it requires accountability. hospitalfacts.org/patients-d…

Getting sick can now mean getting sued. Connecticut hospitals have filed thousands of medical debt lawsuits against patients, according to a KFF Health News investigation. Patients seeking care are being dragged into court over bills they often can’t afford. kffhealthnews.org/health-car…
