I have written in the past about the needed consumer protections in health care. Price transparency is chief among them. Another is banning blanket consent-to-pay forms without adequate price transparency. New York State passed such a law that was due to take effect late 2024, prohibiting health care providers from forcing patients to sign consent-to-pay forms prior to care and prior to when prices are discussed.
