Summary
Hospitals are still sending us confusing bills seven months after I gave birth to Margot and I know we’re not the only family dealing with this. After I posted a viral video about hospital price transparency, thousands of people shared their own stories about unexplained medical bills, insurance confusion, surprise charges, and impossible-to-understand hospital statements. In this solo episode of The Riley Gaines Show, I break down what happened with our hospital bills, why health insurance feels unaffordable for so many families, and why Americans deserve real hospital price transparency before they are expected to pay. I also respond to the political blame game around health care costs and explain why I believe Congress must act. New episodes of The Riley Gaines Show every Tuesday and Friday at 10 AM ET.
