(Washington, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement after President Trump issued an executive order to increase transparency of behind the scenes  negotiations that play a factor in the cost of health care for consumers in an effort to increase price transparency and drive down costs for Americans:

“Patients need readily available and clear information on how much their hospital stay or doctor visit will cost so they can make the best decisions for themselves and their families. President Trump’s executive order is an important step to increase transparency in health care. As a physician, I am pleased that we are moving in a direction that allows consumers to better understand the cost of care they are receiving earlier in the process. By driving down the actual cost of care we can provide better access and higher quality care to more Americans.”
