Rapper Fat Joe wants hospital price transparency. Here’s how he’s fighting for it in D.C.
Price transparency is fine, but we need it paired with a universal healthcare system. I should be able to go to any doctor and be seen for the cost of my yearly tax contributions. I shouldn’t have to pay taxes, and a premium, and a copay/deductible, and then have further costs on to of that because some anesthesiologist or whatever was out of network. Just lump it in with our tax bill, get rid of private insurance.
Are you in the US? I feel like if we try to implement something like that, our government (attorneys and equity firms) would find a way to make it just as bad as what we have now with more steps
