White House to Issue Executive Order
to Disclose Pricing
Across the Health Care Industry
Published: May 24, 2019 By Alex Keown
[Excerpt] President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order next week that will mandate price disclosure across the health care industry, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning. The move would be highly disruptive to the industry, which is not used to having a spotlight shined on its pricing policies, the Journal noted. Citing unnamed sources who are familiar with the matter, the Journal said the Trump administration will wield the power of the federal government to force the price disclosures as part of an effort to drive down health care costs. In particular, the Journal said that the order could be aimed at “regional monopolies of hospitals and health-insurance plans over concerns they are driving up the cost of care.”President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order next week that will mandate price disclosure across the health care industry, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning.

Big Pharma (among others) is in a snit. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of snitters.
I say give credit where it's due, and even though I cringe daily at President Trump's various outrages, tantrums and continuing destruction of the defenses for the environment and regular folks, this executive order sounds just fine to me.
