Won't work until the current administration enforces the law.

Hospitals are defying it and not posting prices with no repercussions.

Did you read the article?

> In the three years since, disclosure of these price lists has been hit and miss. Some hospitals posted partial price lists, others none at all. (They were probably counting on not getting caught.) Two hospitals fined over $1M combined in 2021 for refusing to host these files (but since the penalty, have since taken a U-turn and published their prices.) This might have been to send a message to the other hospitals to get serious.

Yes I did. Two hospitals being fined nearly two years ago != enforcing all hospitals posting full price lists.

You don't just "send a message" once, you fine hospitals not compliant, period. We do this for other regulations.

So at this rate maybe in 2040 most hospitals will post their prices, maybe. If everyone feels like following / enforcing the law.

Also, did you read the guidelines?

I'm the author. The CMS has done a lot since then, including beginning to enforce their Transparency in Coverage act, which is even more comprehensive than the Transparency in Pricing act (which is what this article is about.)

See the article I wrote on this last month: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2022-09-02-a-trillion-prices/
