Help HHS/CMS Enforce Hospital Price Transparency

I am your constituent. According to the Fourth Semi-Annual Hospital Price Transparency Report of 2000 hospitals 3/4 of those surveyed are non-compliant. These rules on transparency began in 2021 and are still not followed. Small hospitals can be penalized $300/day up to $109,500/year and larger ones up to $5550/day up to $2,007, 500/year. In the last 2 years only 2 hospitals have been penalized. I want you to send a letter to HHS head Xavier Becerra and CMS Head Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and ask them to implement their own rules. If they need help or resources for enforcement they should say so. While you’re at it I want to remind you that this kind of shenanigans would not occur if we had a Single Payer Universal Healthcare with clear reimbursement rates. Work on that too!
