The U.S. House is set to vote on a proposal aimed at making it easier for people to know their healthcare costs upfront so they can shop around for the best price.

The problem is that many people don’t know the true cost of their healthcare services until after they have already received the care and they get stuck with the bill.would require hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and diagnostic laboratories to publicly list the prices of their services.
