Search engine for consumers to research officially published US hospitals prices in one places. May search by keyword, sort, filter results. 5M+ prices in the database and growing

Someone is going to do something with this data. But it will take more than this. Insurance rates are very different than what people actually pay. You need to have a good way to figure it out. That's just not here.
Pros:
They gathered all the CMS mandated hospital spreadsheets in one place.
Cons:
Doesn't even take short codes and turn them into something comprehensible.

We need more transparency in healthcare! This project is trying to bring transparency by providing a way to view and search price lists from hospitals at one place.
