In 2016, he was diagnosed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/everclear-to-perform-at-healthcare-price-transparency-event-ahead-of-congressional-baseball-game\/\" title=\"Everclear to play at healthcare price transparency event before Congressional Baseball Game.\">relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis<\/a> and was shocked by the massive bill that followed. &#8220;Luckily for me because of the success Everclear has had, I have pretty good insurance through SAG-AFTRA, through my union,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;But one of the things I noticed is that we don&#8217;t get to see what we&#8217;re paying for when anybody \u2014 whether you have insurance or not \u2014 goes into the hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alexakis believes that price transparency is essential for creating a more equitable healthcare system. &#8220;Would you go into a store, like a department store, to buy something if there were no prices?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;I understand about patient&#8217;s rights \u2014 that&#8217;s something that&#8217;s very important to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting the PATIENT Act<\/h3>\n<p>Power to the Patients is supporting the bipartisan Promoting Access to Treatments and Increasing Extremely Needed Transparency, or PATIENT, Act, introduced by Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Frank Pallone (D-NJ). The bill aims to promote &#8220;hospital and insurer price transparency&#8221; by requiring hospitals to make prices for standard procedures and treatments available to the public.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What: Everclear concert promoting healthcare price transparency<\/li>\n<li>When: Wednesday, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Where: The Bullpen in Washington, D.C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join Everclear and Power to the Patients in their grassroots effort to make healthcare more transparent and accessible for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>transparency in healthcare.
