Trump did something, that I actually support 100%. Well, let me clarify, if Fox News is being totally honest and not doctoring up the statement. I say this because I typically avoid Cable News like the plague and that's any Cable News.

Trump signs executive order calling for upfront disclosure of hospital costs
Video by FOX Business
President Trump on Monday signed an executive order demanding the upfront disclosure by hospitals of the actual prices for common tests and procedures.
Trump's order also requires that patients be told ahead of time what their out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays will be for many procedures.
“This landmark initiative continues our work to put American patients first,” Trump said during remarks at the White House before signing the order. “We are fundamentally changing the nature of the health care marketplace.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters before Trump’s remarks that the idea is to give patients practical information that they can use to help save money. For example, if a hospital charges your insurer $3,500 for a type of echocardiogram and the same test costs $550 in a doctor's office, you might go for the lower-price procedure to save on copays.

A great idea!
When Trump does something right, even people who don't have their head buried up Trump's enormous posterior, should acknowledge it.
