Getting pricing information on hospitals is a good start and encouraging lower prices is good thing as well.

In addition, what we really need to get those insurance premiums down, is insurance programs that can selectively only cover cost effective treatment programs as well as legislation that protects people from overzealous hospitals that try to provide overly expensive treatment options.

Is there a reason this project isn't just an open-source website as opposed to a Python project?

Because you have to scrape all the hospitals in the US?

Good start, but we need more (and deeper) initiatives like this.

Why have a custom contribution agreement rather than just using the contribution agreement built in to the apache v2?
