Hospitals oppose Trump’s push for health-cost transparency, saying it would pose an unrealistic burden. Proponents say that disclosure will drive down prices
A Trump administration plan to make hospitals disclose their negotiated prices is spurring a battle between industry and patient advocates that could determine how far the White House will go with its initiative.
