Check out today's @politiconj article on what we are doing to rein in out-of-control hospital prices in New Jersey! @danieljhan_ Labor groups push for enforceable health care benchmarks subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/0…
Our coalition member, the @NJSPBA, is absolutely right - you shouldn’t need to be a detective to figure out health care prices! #PasstheTransparencyAct It shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg, to fix an arm and a leg! linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a…
High hospital prices are more than a health issue. Workers could lose $20,000 in wages over the next decade due to rising health costs. It's time to address this hidden driver of wage stagnation & income inequality, according to @FamiliesUSA. familiesusa.org/resources/the-…
Rising hospital prices are leading to unsustainable increases in employer-sponsored health insurance premiums at the cost of wage growth, disproportionately impacting people of color, according to a new report by @FamiliesUSA. #SameServiceSamePrice familiesusa.org/resources/the-…
According to @FamiliesUSA, high and rising hospital prices not only lead to record levels of medical debt and force families to forgo needed medical care but are also a hidden driver of wage stagnation and income inequality. #SameServiceSamePrice familiesusa.org/resources/the-…
We keep asking, why is health care so expensive? In New Jersey, this is the biggest reason why👇 @KevinBrown32BJ @32BJSEIU @NJWFP @NJEA @CWADistrict1 @NJSPBA @njfmba @NJCitizenAction @BlueWave_NJ app.com/story/news/hea…
The battle over NJ hospital prices: Will more transparency lead to lower bills? @KevinBrown32BJ @32BJSEIU @NJWFP @NJEA @CWADistrict1 @NJSPBA @njfmba @NJCitizenAction @PowertoPatnts @PtRightsAdvoc @SenJoeVitale northjersey.com/story/news/hea…
Thank you to all the folks who came out to testify in support of hospital price transparency in NJ - especially the union workers who took time off to give us their personal stories before the Senate Health Committee. It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg to fix an arm and a leg!
Today’s bill, S1984, from @SenJoeVitale would codify federal rules around hospital price transparency. We’ve seen hospitals not comply with the federal regulations, but if it is state law then the state can enforce compliance 👊
Thank you @MarniOnHealth for making the trip to Trenton in support of hospital transparency!
Busting some myths about hospital transparency and @SenJoeVitale’s S1984! Hospitals in compliance with federal guidelines do not have ANY more steps to take in order to comply with this law! Period.
Hospital prices are the #1 driver for your rising healthcare costs. Why? Because prices are opaque, incomplete and fluctuate wildly between individuals and carriers. We have to rein in these hospitals, we need price transparency and we need it now! Support S1984!
We are at the State House today to testify in favor of S1984 for Hospital Pricing Transparency at the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. Access to quality, affordable health care is a right, not a commodity! #njcoalitionforaffordablehospitals
You know the price of eggs before you buy them, why can’t you know the price of your medical procedure? 44% of every dollar spent on healthcare is spent at hospitals & you don’t even know what you’re spending until AFTER your visit. Support S1984 for hospital price transparency!
Our coalition is strong, it’s growing and it’s in FULL SUPPORT of S1984 - a bill to codify federal standards for hospital pricing that is up for discussion in today’s Senate Health Committee!

44% uninsured New Jersey respondents cited “too expensive” as the major reason for not having coverage. Hospital prices are rising at 100% inflation and that is a HUGE problem! How can an average New Jersey family keep up with that?

“The lack of transparency that surrounds health care and hospital prices is actually an outlier in state spending protocols. New York has far more oversight on many of its other programs and expenditures.” -- @MannyPastreich timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
“[The Healthcare Data Transparency Act] will show how our money is being spent and why we’re paying much more at some hospitals than others for the same service. This is the type of transparency we need to make better informed spending decisions.” timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
“[With the Healthcare Data Transparency Act], instead of being in the dark about one of its biggest expenses, the state will have the ability to comprehensively analyze hospital prices through the compilation and publication of an annual report.” timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
“It’s disturbing to see that not only are prices rising but that they also vary widely among hospitals for the same services... We know this because our fund has access to its spending and claims data. It is crucial to have similar information for NYSHIP.” timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
