The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), led by Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, has implemented new regulations requiring cable and satellite TV providers to disclose the "all-in" price of their services, including all extra fees, to enhance price transparency for consumers. This initiative has garnered support from lawmakers across the political spectrum, including Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has been vocal about eliminating predatory fees in various sectors, and Representatives working on bipartisan legislation to lower healthcare costs. Additionally, concerns about a 'stealth tax' on phone bills funding broadband subsidy programs have been raised. The FCC's action is part of a broader effort to address unfair business practices, with specific achievements like capping the price of insulin for seniors on Medicare at $35.
