Sure! Here’s a shortened version of the article:
Donald Trump signed an executive order to enforce price transparency in healthcare costs. The order requires providers to disclose “actual prices of items and services, not estimates.”
A report from PatientRightsAdvocate.org found that only **21.1%** of hospitals fully complied with the 2019 order. Trump criticized the Biden administration, saying it “failed to take sufficient steps” to enforce the rule.
Trump aims to help patients make informed decisions, calling the order “one of the biggest things that can happen to reducing cost and healthcare.” He added, “It allows people to go out and negotiate prices.”
Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies previously challenged the order in court, claiming it violated free speech rights, but the court rejected their claim.
Further, he said he’s well aware that this order will not suit hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry, but it will certainly suit those that receive the medical care.
