WATCH: Trump signs executive order on health care price transparency

President Donald Trump signs an executive order June 24 that aims to force hospitals to disclose the costs of health care services. The order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to issue a new rule that mandates hospitals reveal the price of procedures in a "patient-friendly" format. Trump also aims to require health care providers tell patients upfront what their out-of-pocket costs will be based on their individual insurance coverage.
