require healthcare providers and insurance companies to provide the cost for services rendered.

Consumers have the right to know the cost of a product and/or service. Healthcare should be no different. Create legislation that requires health care providers and insurance companies to provide their customers with the cost of services and products rendered prior to "purchase". Require healthcare providers and insurance companies to create transparency in the billing process. This would apply to insurance companies, who would have to provide the contracted rate to their customers.
