From Secret Health Care Prices to Too Much Information

Health care pricing, long hidden from patients, has moved toward broad disclosure requirements in the United States, and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute are examining what that shift means. The debate now centers on whether patients and buyers are getting so much raw price data that it is hard to use, and how transparency can be turned into real savings.

Why now: Ongoing US rules forcing hospitals and insurers to disclose previously secret prices keep the usefulness and overload of that data in debate.
