What we really need is to make insurance coverages and deals public as well, for services and prescriptions.

What other for profit corporations do this?

[analog31]

I would say, ones that are begging to be regulated more intensively. Disclaimer: I'd like to see the government generally begin to tighten the noose around the health care industry.

What other for-profit corporations operate within the premise of improving public health and have multiple federal agencies overseeing their operations?

[all2]

My intent was not snarky, I actually would like to know if there are for-profit organizations that open their ledgers for regulatory purposes. I think its an interesting question, and there are implications if there is a precedent that health care organizations could follow.

Investment banks do. In fact, it's how the SEC catches fraud and other foul play maneuvers.
