    Episode 10: For Patients by the Patients, Part 3

    Cynthia Fisher and I discuss Hospital Price Transparency, how it will help lower charges to you, your family, and your business. We also discuss how you can get Washington DC and your own state to force hospitals to show you their cash price. https://www.patientrightsadvocate.org/use-your-voice  Cynthia Fisher, Founder and Chairman, started PatientRightsAdvocate.org a few years ago to represent the consumers of healthcare – patients, American workers, businesses and taxpayers – in the fight for price transparency across the healthcare system. The ability to see prices will enable a competitive marketplace in healthcare, greatly reducing the cost of care and coverage for patients, employers and our government. https://free2care.org/
