A beloved 1990s rock band is headlining a special performance in Washington, D.C., to highlight a good cause.
The Gin Blossoms announced this week that they are joining the Power to the Patients (PTTP) event on June 11 for "a special performance in support of true price transparency in healthcare."
The PTTP event takes place as the pre-party festivities for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. Gin Blossoms will perform at The Bullpen bar beginning at 6 p.m. ET; doors open at 4 p.m.

"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 the "Hey Jealousy" band in a statement. "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."
The statement continued, "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. It's time to end the secrecy, stop the exploitation, and demand full transparency in healthcare."
The press release continues, "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."
