New Flint Hills study tackles price transparency
[Mary Katherine Stout and Matthew Hisrich, "Seeing Through the Cost of Health Care: Consumer-Driven Price Transparency in Kansas," The Flint Hills Center for Public Policy, 6 July 2006.]
The Flint Hills Center for Public Policy teams up with The Texas Public Policy Foundation to release a new policy paper evaluating the controversial issue of price transparency in health care. Read the news release here.
With recent legislative efforts in Kansas to impose the release of pricing information, this paper comes at a crucial time. As the paper argues, the solution to bringing health care pricing into the sunshine does not require the strong regulatory arm of government — the market itself will compel it.
