In a sane world, this would be the free market solution being pushed by the supposedly free market crusading Republicans. Seems like the obvious market-oriented approach to bring down costs: tell people what the costs are!

Instead, the only plan Republicans can come up with is kick more people off their insurance, and don't change anything else.

Indeed! If any of the "free market" guys would advocate price transparency and other measures to create functioning market I would start listening. Instead the only thing they seem to want is the freedom for providers and insurances to screw their patients and if the patient can't afford it, just die.
