Description

Abstract:: Healthcare prices in the United States are high, variable, and opaque. A lack of transparent pricing information limits competition, stifles innovation, and prevents both patients and healthcare purchasers from understanding the true price of healthcare. It also prevents regulators and policymakers from ensuring healthy market competition. Although the US leads the world in healthcare spending, high and variable prices have not been shown to reflect an increase in quality, but are rather driven by provider consolidation and market power.
