All Sides - 5-1-2024 A - The fight for hospital pricing transparency in Ohio
 
Play
 
It sounds like a simple idea: Ohioans should know what something costs before they buy it.

But when it comes to healthcare, we're often flying blind.

Congress mandated that hospitals post their prices online, but just 9% of Ohio's hospitals comply with federal law.

We're talking about the fight for hospital price transparency during this hour of All Sides.

Guests:

House Rep. Ron Ferguson, bill co-sponsor
Cynthia Fisher, founder/chair, Patient Rights Advocate.org
Sen. George Lang (pre-taped)
Patrick Neville, retired Colorado lawmaker
