President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order to reinforce rules to make health care prices more transparent for patients.
The order directs the Treasury Department, Labor Department and Health and Human Services to enforce a set of regulations from Trump’s first term that called for hospitals and health insurers to publicly disclose their prices, according to a fact sheet seen by Bloomberg News. The rules were aimed at making it easier for consumers to comparison shop for treatments and prescription drugs.
