A new report found 43% of large hospitals posted fewer prices this year than last. Families can’t compare or plan when hospitals keep hiding the true cost of care. Learn More at https://t.co/51D4T9Sply

4 in 10 hospitals decreased the amount of pricing information shared publicly last year, decreasing transparency and making it harder for employers and working families to get a fair deal. Learn more about the need for greater oversight and transparency: https://t.co/VwcmTn3T2c

When small businesses can’t afford healthcare, everyone loses. Rising costs don’t just threaten coverage, they threaten jobs, communities, and Michigan’s economic health. A sustainable healthcare system is essential for a sustainable economy. Learn more: https://t.co/51D4T9Sply

🚨 @sallypipes of @PacificResearch calls on Congress to take action and reform the #340B hospital markup program. The broken 340B program is raising costs for patients and taxpayers – in fact, former @USCBO Director Dan Crippen estimated the federal government could lose out on
