What do you think it will accomplish? They will raise hospital bills to pay tax so it’s a back door tax on anyone who goes to the hospital

Have you seen hospital bills? They are already insanely high and the insurance pays for most of it

Physicians go through ten years of training and nurses are in high demand so it costs a lot to get personalized service like healthcare. Billing transparency would help a little bit and imposing higher safety standards and avoiding unnecessary procedures could help.
