President Trump is doing a very clever thing to bring down the costs of medicine and health care. He is allowing for competition. A couple of headlines with links:
By making the prices available to the insurers and the customers, he is allowing for competition. People and insurance providers can now shop around and get the best service for the best price. If a hospital wants to get more business (they are, after all, in it for the money), they will have to cut costs, trim the fat and lower their prices. Right now there is no incentive for drug companies or hospitals to cut their prices so they are gouging.
