Price transparency is definitely an important aspect to make the US system a little less insane.
One thing is to expose the negotiated prices but I think another important aspect would be to collect actual bills and publish what got actually paid.
I once attended a presentation of a startup that was providing this service but focused on prescription drugs (with large companies as their client). Their first step in the process was to open and run a pharmacy so they could gain that perspective.
