With hospital prices for care still soaring, several City Council Members joined public section union members and healthcare advocates on the steps of City Hall Thursday to rally in support of a bill seeking greater price transparency at New York medical centers.
The bill, which was also introduced Thursday, aims to provide consumers with greater transparency when it comes to hospital prices. If enacted, the legislation also stands to save the city big bucks, as it would put pricing pressure on hospital procedures — thereby lowering the city’s cost of providing healthcare for public sector employees.
