You have the right to know what health care will cost, and they have the responsibility to tell you.
Here’s what we ask candidates and elected officials to support.

Everyone has a right to know the price of healthcare services before receiving care, including cash prices and negotiated rates with health plans, so they can make informed choices when shopping for care and coverage.

About the Commitment
Healthcare price transparency is a rare bipartisan issue—with almost 90% public support. A whopping 98% of women age 40 and under support it. Yet, efforts to make price transparency a reality have been clouded and shrouded by healthcare lobbyists and special interest groups who want to keep patients in the dark.
That’s why we created the Patient Protection Commitment: to shine a light on the issue, to hold candidates and elected officials accountable for delivering transparency and competition to our healthcare system once and for all, and to make healthcare price transparency the law of the land.
Price transparency offers patients more financial security and control, and ultimately, will help drive down healthcare costs. Like former President Trump, President Biden has focused on promoting price transparency to help healthcare consumers make informed choices. All elected leaders would be wise to focus on an issue that brings so many Americans together and has potential to transform health care for the better.
