Technically as of January 2021 hospitals in the US are supposed to have price transparency now. https://www.cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency

While it's a step in the right direction, most people don't know about it, the accuracy is questionable, what insurance will cover isn't clear, and what random additional fees will be added are unknown.

Noone is enforcing it, it was enacted by the Trump administration in 2019, effective Jan 2021, but the Biden administration isn't enforcing it and hospitals are defying it.
