The president said yesterday that he'll aim to make health savings accounts more widespread, seek price disclosure for medical services and make health insurance more widely available to the 45.8 million Americans whom the Census Bureau said were uninsured in 2004.
Bush said he'd seek improved disclosure of prices for medical service ... to make consumers more aware of costs and allow them to do more "comparative shopping.''
"There's no transparency in pricing in medicine,'' Bush said. "You don't know whether the guy next door is going to offer a better deal when it comes to some kind of medical procedure.''
