POWER TO THE PATIENTS

Hospitals save lives, but the hidden prices of healthcare all too often end up destroying the financial well-being of their patients, especially for the most vulnerable.  Thankfully, on January 1, 2021, a new healthcare rule mandates that all hospitals must finally publish their real prices online.  This breakthrough allows patients and their families an understanding of the real financial obligations of their medical decisions and even creates an opportunity for them to responsibly compare prices across hospitals. For the first time in US history, entering a hospital will not so easily lead to financial despair as a result of price gouging or unexpected medical bills.  Finally, we can take care of ourselves medically while taking control of our financial health.  We now have the right to see real prices before we receive care.
