“ Price transparency is another very important issue. I think consumers have the absolute right to know what health care services are going to cost. And, so, we support price transparency, but it needs to be meaningful and informative for consumers, and also needs to apply to all the providers within that health care ecosystem. Otherwise the information can be misleading. We encourage Congress to convene all the players, so that we can solve this problem in a meaningful and integrated way.”

Not surprised. Money money money! That's all they have on their mind. Read the NYT article. Hope the IRS gets them. Over 2K comments, people are sick of these parasites.
