In just a few days, President-elect Trump will reclaim the Oval Office. High on his list of priorities should be enforcing the hospital price transparency rules he announced during his first term.
The rules, which took effect in 2021, require hospitals to publish prices for 300 common procedures — from blood tests to MRIs to cardiac surgeries — in “machine-readable” files. But most hospitals aren’t complying.
By simply enforcing the rules, Trump can restore greater competition, choice, and transparency to the healthcare system.
