We are allowing everybody transparency into what these drugs cost.”<\/p>\n Any company that sells the drugs can put their products on the website, “and you can go there and say, ‘You know, in my area, I can buy for that price,'” he said.<\/p>\n “And they can hit the button and buy from whoever selling it,” Oz added.\u00a0<\/p>\n President Trump last month released his “Great Healthcare Plan,” in which he called on Congress to codify the “most favored nation” initiative.<\/p>\n The plan also proposed sending money directly to Americans to buy health insurance and included calls to increase price transparency and hold insurance companies accountable — though it largely lacked specifics<\/a>.<\/p>\n Polls show most Americans are concerned about health care costs.<\/p>\n
