U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 4 million prices from 30 hospitals in the Philly area and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think!

Good idea. Just correct “Zip Code” to “ZIP Code”.
ZIP means Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP), not to be confused with a zip file.
Also, I’m not sure you guys have room for this, or if every state does this, but California has a rating system for the insurers. Personally, I stay away from 3 stars and below.
Here is an example: https://reportcard.opa.ca.gov/rc/HMO_PPOCombined.aspx
Not sure if that can be added or if you guys need to request an API for that, but it would be nice to know I have a good insurer.
