This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron dive into some of the top healthcare headlines for this week. First, a new report shows that as many as 85% of hospitals are non-compliant with an Affordable Care Act rule that requires them to make their prices public. Then, a new analysis of Health Savings Accounts shows that they are becoming less and less effective. Is there a way to still make them work? And the strangest: Senators Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders agree on something healthcare-related and Matthew and Ron discuss the implications of buying drugs from other countries.
