Price transparency press call remarks by Administrator Seema Verma

CMS

29 October 2020 - Today’s price transparency announcement marks the culmination of four years of groundbreaking reforms. 

When I started as Administrator back in 2017, I worked with President Trump to set the commonsense goal of reducing health care costs. We set out to do so not by setting prices and taking over the health care system as had failed so often in the past, but by introducing free market principles – using competition to drive costs down.

From the first day the President took office, CMS pushed to empower patients to be value conscious healthcare consumers by making quality and cost data transparent.
