Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients with Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information was signed on February 25th
In response to the February 25th Executive Order released by The White House, Solidarity HealthShare released the following statement:
“Bringing widespread transparency to healthcare pricing is long overdue and Solidarity HealthShare enthusiastically supports President Trump’s Executive Order, Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients with Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information. Such action will bolster efforts already underway by Solidarity HealthShare to make transparent price information available to patients and to support an affordable and higher quality healthcare system.
Hiding or inflating healthcare prices allows hospitals, insurers, and other companies to charge whatever they want – at the expense of lower income and elderly patients who need accountability and transparency from their healthcare providers.
American’s deserve complete information in order to make the best decision for their life and healthcare. It comes as no surprise that 92% of people say they support efforts by the federal government to require hospitals and health insurance companies to provide the actual cost of treatments rather than just estimates. Our recent letter to DOGE and HHS asked the administration to enforce the Hospital Price Transparency Rule, eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the marketplace, and protect patients from unethical practices in the medical industry.
Solidarity is committed to price transparency and repricing for its patients and stands as a resource for the administration, bringing almost a decade of experience serving over 46,000 Members. We look forward to working with President Trump, DOGE, and HHS to address the broken health care system and ensure price transparency for all Americans.”
