> It's also insane that US doctors and hospitals aren't required to post prices,

This doesn't get a lot of attention because, well, what media outlet could write a positive article about Trump & get away with it, but healthcare price transparency was a big issue of his and during his administration the Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule was established.

The rule was issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in November 2019 and requires hospitals to post prices.

The Trump administration argued that the rule would help to empower patients by providing them with more information about the costs of healthcare services, and that it would promote competition among hospitals and other providers, leading to lower prices and improved quality of care.

The rule was initially challenged in court by a group of hospital organizations, but in June 2020, a federal judge upheld the rule, clearing the way for it to take effect on January 1, 2021.
