Trump Threatens 500+ Hospitals with Fines for Failing to Meet Price Transparency Requirements with Director of Research for PRA Ilaria Wheeler

The Trump administration is stepping up enforcement of federal hospital price transparency rules, threatening more than 500 hospitals with fines for failing to publicly disclose the actual costs of medical services as required by law.
