What Trump did with this will be a big win long term. Initially, there will be some chaos, but once hospitals and insurance companies can no longer play games with what things actually costs, a chunk of the fraud, overcharging, waste and paperwork overhead can be cut out.
Things like $4,200 in testing to make sure a patient really needs $1,800 in treatment, because insurance companies don't want to pay out. Things like fake charging $6,500 on paper for a treatment protocol when the cost is really $2,100 but some insurance companies pay more or less than that and the hospital has to eat the costs for some patients while making extra money from others.
