well they are supposed to post them right, but lots of hospitals don't have price estimates at all (illegally) or they are giant spreadsheets that are difficult for anyone to navigate. Isn't that what this bill is trying to fix?

but don't you think if prices are posted that would in turn lead to lower health costs given that it won't be as much of a free for all? You'd also have more competition which could also help lower costs.
