Wonder if individuals can sue once they get their bills, on the grounds that they didn't realize that would be the price, and this was caused by the hospital's failure to comply with the law.
- nradov 5y agoNo the federal law which requires price transparency didn't create any private right for individuals to sue on that basis. In principle that seems like a good idea but it would take a new law.
