Litigation Content
Why this Matters:
The plaintiffs argue that price transparency regulations under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requiring hospitals to post standard charge information based on negotiated rates for common or shoppable items or services violate the Public Health Service Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the First Amendment. On appeal, the plaintiffs argue that the district court erred in finding it within the government’s authority to promulgate the price transparency regulations.
Potential Impact:
If the federal government could not craft price transparency regulations, consumers would lose a valuable tool to make informed decisions and potentially face higher health care prices.
