Healthcare Price Transparency is the Key to Affordable Healthcare

Cynthia Fisher, founder and chairman of Patient Rights Advocate, and Colorado State Representative Patrick Neville join ALEC TV at the States and Nation Policy Summit to look at how states can bring down healthcare costs by passing healthcare price transparency legislation. “You wouldn’t buy anything else without first knowing the price, so why should you be forced to purchase medical procedures without knowing the cost?” asked Fisher. Rep. Neville sponsored a bill with broad bipartisan support to ensure healthcare providers in Colorado list costs upfront for patients. “We got this bill signed into law because it is a win for everyone,” Neville said.
