Hospital transparency app

[dviramontes]

The idea is to create an app where people can report the itemized bill for a hospital ER visit.

Goals and criteria for this project

• Hospitals transparency aggregating cost.

• News reporting

• Report costs on individuals visiting

• It would be anonymous

• One of the goals would be report accuracy

• It could save lives and money

User story (actual story)

a woman visits an ER, she's giving a ice pack and finds herself with a $5000 bill
