Dr. Elaina George on Trump's Hospital Pricing Directive Healthcare Secrets: An American Sickness
-
- Science
Is there a big revolution about to start in healthcare?
We think yes. And we saw it – thanks to a directive by President Trump – that requires hospital transparency when it comes to patient billing.
Even if you are not a fan of this President, you need to hear this podcast.
Because – we think -- this is game changing -- when it comes to your healthcare and healthcare costs.
We will speak to the doctor who spoke at the White House with the President -- about the executive order.
Her name is Dr. Elaina George.
So the executive order forces hospitals and payers to release information based on their privately negotiated rates. Plus, providers would have to give patients estimates of their out-of-pocket costs before a procedure.
Elaina is an ear nose and throat specialist in Atlanta. Her book is one we recommend. It is Big Medicine: The Cost of Corporate Control and How Doctors and Patients Working Together Can Rebuild a Better System. You can get the book here. http://drelainageorge.com/
