Summary

The artists took the stage to add their voices to the critical need for systemwide healthcare price transparency.

Results & Impact
The event had tremendous attendance from over twenty Members of Congress and their staff, senior White House officials, and reporters including CNN anchor Sara Sidner who created a feature story on-air about the event and the critical issue of healthcare price transparency.
