I'm the CEO and cofounder of a health insurer that published its pricing data. See it on GitHub at https://github.com/evryhealth/price-transparency https://github.com/evryhealth/price-transparency To add some fuel to this discussion, US healthcare has grown 3x as a percentage of GDP in 60 years from approx. 5% to more than 15% [1]. It has done so at the expense of the rest of the economy and communities.
Pricing transparency is only one piece of the puzzle. It is a tremendously antiquated industry. Fax is still state of the art -- welcome to the 1980s!
