City Council bill requiring price transparency for hospital is a boon to patients

Legislators at both the city and state levels are striking a blow for patient power and lower health-care prices by requiring hospitals to disclose how much they charge for procedures, just like any other sellers of services. Excellent. The best way to begin bringing down medical costs that are way, way, way, way, way too high is showing the public these prices so, to the extent possible, they can comparison shop.
