Senator Moody calls it shocking that patient consumers cannot know cost for months as insane captive market at hearing

Florida Senator Ashley Moody says that healthcare remains the only industry without transparent pricing despite shoppable services representing 35-40 percent of US healthcare spending, noting Americans spend $14,570 per capita annually, more than any other country, and expresses shock that only 17 percent of Americans know healthcare costs before receiving services, creating a captive consumer market, while praising Smith's Surgery Center of Oklahoma for offering competitive pricing at a Senate Select Aging Committee hearing on consumer shopping for health care plans.
