Health Care

Hospital Site Neutrality

Currently, hospitals are being reimbursed three times the price as a private practice for the exact same service, distorting the market and leading to higher costs for patients. Site neutrality levels the playing field and promotes fair competition by focusing on the quality of care rather than the service location. Patients pay less out of pocket, and the healthcare system becomes more sustainable.
