Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients With Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information

Executive Order February 28, 2025 Document 2025-03440

Summary

On February 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at enhancing healthcare price transparency, building on efforts from his previous term. The order mandates hospitals and health plans to disclose actual prices for services and drugs, rather than estimates, and calls for stricter enforcement of these transparency measures. If successfully implemented, this initiative could lead to significant healthcare savings for consumers and increase competition, though it may face legal challenges or resistance from healthcare providers and insurers who benefit from less transparent pricing.
