WASHINGTON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, June 11, Gin Blossoms will join Power to the Patients (PTTP) in Washington, D.C., for a special performance in support of true price transparency in healthcare. The PTTP Congressional Baseball Game Pre-Party with Gin Blossoms will be held at The Bullpen with doors at 4:00 PM Eastern and the concert at 6:00 PM Eastern.
"When Power to the Patients reached out, we didn't hesitate to jump in. This cause hit home and we're proud to join the dozens of artists who have performed in support of this incredible organization," said Gin Blossoms. "Every day, Americans are blindsided by outrageous, hidden medical prices. People in pain, people fighting for their lives, shouldn't also have to fight to understand what their care will cost — or be financially destroyed by it. It's not just wrong. It's inhumane."
Without clear, upfront prices to plan in advance or fight overcharges and errors, 100 million Americans are in medical debt -- the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States. More than 9-in-10 Americans support upfront prices in healthcare, which would transform the American healthcare system through accountability and billing integrity, and would lower costs for patients, employers, and unions.
"Transparency in healthcare pricing isn't a luxury or a political issue — it's a moral obligation. We stand with Power to the Patients because every American deserves to know the price of their care before they receive it," Gin Blossoms continued. "It's time to end the secrecy, stop the exploitation and demand full transparency in healthcare."
The PTTP Congressional Baseball Game Pre-Party is a private event with a limited number of tickets available to the public, which can be requested at www.powertothepatients.org. This event is part of PTTP's ongoing grassroots efforts and the bipartisan movement to strengthen healthcare price transparency rules that will protect patients and unleash choice and competition to lower costs.
