Turning state's witness and flipping on the president, that's a bold move Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.

Cant really see him flipping though, pretty sure that was in jest.

It was, it seems the "insurance" bit was a joke about medical bills for being "thrown under the bus." Still big YIKES on the headline it creates

[Tarage]

I'm really in awe of the witness tampering.

[mallister]

Wait, seriously they did that?

Schiff stopped the hearing to read the tweets in real time as a part of the hearing lol

And Guartz is no where to be found.

This is all fake news guys, fake news !

[mallister]

Trump literally cant keep his spurs from jingling and jangling. Wow.

[kuronosan]

Guartz is waiting for the next conservative outlet to respond so he can wax Shapiro until the next damning thing.

New Trump rule to make more health care rates public

The Trump administration on Friday issued controversial rules compelling hospitals and insurers to give consumers more information upfront about what their care will cost — requirements that the president called a historic step to give Americans tools to shop for affordable health care.

Under one rule resisted for months by a broad swath of the health-care industry, hospitals must for the first time reveal in a consumer-friendly format the discounted rates they negotiate privately with insurers for a list of 300 services that patients can schedule in advance, including X-rays and Caesarean sections. The requirement will take effect in January 2021.

In a new twist, the administration is also proposing to require most health plans that Americans get through their jobs to disclose the rates they negotiate with hospitals and doctors in their insurance networks, as well as the amounts they pay to doctors out-of-network.

I seem to recall someone getting banned for repeatedly being confronted and pulling fades like that. Think it was right before Gred got modded.

ELI5 why this is controversial? Or is this another ORANGE MAN BAD type complaint?

Its news, so I'm posting it. Not everything that happens is bad

[kuronosan]

Because hospitals don't know what a patient's needs will be, specifically, and rates are negotiated with insurance companies.

Price transparency isn't the problem. Insurance companies are. The vast majority of patients would only benefit from transparency in the ED.

Edit: that isn't to say this is inherently good or bad but it's essentially patching a problem instead of addressing the root cause.

No not you homie lol. The article says it’s controversial so I was just curious why.

It's great for outpatient tests. MRI, CT, Endoscopies...but if those find anything, that's where things start to get murky. FWIW, I think it's fine. We already have requirements for providers to post costs line.

Yea personally I don't care about the transparency but it still doesn't fix the problem.
