Editorial: Best health care transparency is useful

Hospitals in Wisconsin are required by law to publicize their rate increases each year. It's good the public knows that. We know that a 3 or 4 percent increase is better than a 5 percent increase, which is about the statewide average. And we know that a 3 or 4 percent increase outpaces the rate of inflation, so we understand health care costs are rising more quickly than we can pay for it. (APPLETON POST CRESCENT, 1/25)
