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/
