S 2355

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced this bill to require hospitals and health insurers to publicly disclose actual prices for medical services, moving beyond current transparency rules that many providers ignore. While primarily a healthcare pricing bill, it likely touches AI through requirements around how price data is published, standardized, and made machine-readable for consumer tools and comparison platforms.
