Presidential Action February 25, 2025 Document 2203

Summary

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order aimed at enhancing transparency in healthcare pricing to empower patients with clear, accurate, and actionable information. Building on previous regulations, the order mandates hospitals and health plans to disclose actual prices for services and drugs, with the potential to save consumers and employers billions in healthcare costs. This move aims to foster competition and affordability in the healthcare system, but its success will depend on rigorous enforcement and could face legal challenges regarding its implementation and compliance.
