New Site Offers Medical Comparison Shopping

Both insured and uninsured patients have reason to comparison-shop for medical procedures in non-emergencies, but that has been tough to do.

Originally founded in December 2006 as an independent grassroots publication dedicated to coverage of health issues in Florida, Health News Florida was acquired by WUSF Public Media in September 2012.
