Plain-English Summary
This bill would require hospitals and healthcare providers to publicly display the prices they charge for medical services before patients receive treatment, similar to price tags in stores. The goal is to help patients understand what they'll pay out-of-pocket and compare costs between different providers, giving them more control over their healthcare spending decisions. The bill affects hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, and patients seeking medical care.
