Hospitals lift curtain on prices, revealing giant swings in pricing by procedure

File a complaint with Health and Human Services [1]. It is clear they are not acting in good faith. Take snapshots of the URL with the Internet Archive for notarization [2].

I actually might, the wording on this page:

https://www.cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency

Does say "provide clear, accessible pricing information" which I would argue this is not.

edit: Filed a complaint.

Fantastic. In return I will review my locals and see what they report.

I genuinely appreciate that you took the time to do so.

EDIT: Thank you all for your efforts.

Thanks for posting this. I just looked to see if my local hospital had prices available. They have a webpage set up, but they give you a dummy link! Outrageous! I will absolutely be making a complaint.

I'm also going to post a review online, since poor reviews seem to get attention from them.
