In the second episode of Debunked, hosts Arundhati Parmar and Samir Batra discuss healthcare costs, particularly site-neutral payments and a new law in California. Site-neutral payments aim to address unfair hospital pricing for outpatient services at facilities owned by health systems, but the American Hospital Association successfully lobbied against it for this year. The podcast also mentions a new law in California that will monitor large healthcare transactions starting on April 1. The hosts provide an in-depth discussion on these topics in the episode. Additionally, spending bills approved last week did not include site-neutral payments, which was not known at the time of recording.
