Donald Trump has certainly made some waves since return to the White House and one of his latest new executive orders could shift things significantly in the healthcare industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0signed the new executive order in hopes it would increase transparency for patients when it comes to costs.<\/p>\n

Health<\/a>care providers and insurers must publicly disclose their prices so that patients can now weigh up the\u00a0costs<\/a>\u00a0of receiving treatment in one place over another.<\/p>\n

Currently, healthcare prices have traditionally been had behind close doors between doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurers.<\/p>\n

Trump has garnered some support from this move and it marks a more aggressive approach to boost compliance with regulations that Trump introduced in 2019 that Biden threw out.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump defended the new executive order as he signed it in front of reporters earlier this week.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is one of the biggest things that can happen to reducing cost and healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a little while to kick in but\u00a0Biden<\/a>\u00a0ended it immediately upon coming in which was a terrible travesty in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to start up and we have even made it stronger by a couple of major factors.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt allows people to go out and negotiate with price, you are not even allowed to talk about it when you go to a hospital and see a doctor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis allows you to go out and talk about it and it is actually one of the biggest… there are a couple of people that go back a long way that feel that there are real pros of this, this is the biggest thing you can do for cutting prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump did admit that this move has proven unpopular in some circles but ultimately argued it would be better for patients.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt is not so good for the pharmaceuticals, the companies that make the drugs, I guess you could say it isn\u2019t great for hospitals but they say if you have a great hospital that really knows what it is doing, it is actually great for the hospital because everyone wants to go there.”<\/p>\n

Despite Trump\u2019s claims this would ultimately lower prices, insurance industry groups have argued the opposite is true. They have said that regulations on costs would actually raise premiums.<\/p>\n

As well as this, during Trump\u2019s last presidency, hospital groups said that declaring prices for every item and service violated their First Amendment Rights.<\/p>\n

They said the policy stripped them of their negotiating power to haggle prices when dealing with insurers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
