The bill moves to the Senate Finance Committee and is expected to be voted on by the full Senate late next week, according to the report.

Hospitals would have to delineate how much they charge, the amount paid by uninsured patients, the amounts paid by Medicare and Medicaid and the amounts paid by major payors.
