Payment reform is no easy task, but changing the way healthcare is paid for will disrupt our healthcare system and ultimately encourage better care at lower prices for employers and patients.

The Value in Health Care Act would help the shift to value-based care, focused on quality of care, provider performance, and patient experience over the volume of services provided.

A recent poll by @PtRightsAdvoc shows 94% support healthcare price transparency, 93% agree hospitals should be required to provide real prices in advance, not estimates, and 91% would use upfront prices to seek quality care at lower costs.

Data from a recent price transparency study published in @JAMA Health Forum shows that healthcare prices are the highest in the US's upper Midwest and Southeast regions. It’s time for real price transparency!

Price transparency in healthcare enables employers to make informed decisions for their health plans. Unfortunately, there is still work to be done before the data is consistent, accessible, and usable.

Today, I am introducing the Know Your Healthcare Costs Act. This bill is intended to empower patients through price transparency in our healthcare systems. Healthcare is the only thing Wisconsinites purchase that we don’t know the price of beforehand. It's time to change that.
